[@bradmiller9121]

+Zachary Windsor Having graduated from Major League Umpire school in a previous life I can tell you they have neither, it's all about positioning. The late John McSherry told us that if you set up at the correct angle, you can make the correct call from 90 feet away, if you have the incorrect angle, you can be 15 feet away and completely blow the call. That is why robots will never work and why even slow motion can be deceptive. It's all about setting up at a 90* angle to the throw.

[@bradmiller9121]

+George Jetson I don't think you've been paying much attention to that. with the new "box" graphic that the TV has you are finding that they are much more consistent on Balls and strikes than they used to be. Most fans don't realize that the strike zone is actually three dimensional, not two dimensional, which adds to the difficulty.

There’s a very well made informative KZbin video just about this topic called “What Bad Umpiring Looks Like” by Baseball Bits and how accurate Umpires have been when it comes to Balls and Strikes over the years. I know these replies are old but I just wanted to make this comment so other people can see it because it’s true, the strike IS actually three dimensional and this videos goes in depth on the topic

[@AbsoluteWrestlingFed]

I love plays like these, but these are always the hardest plays for the umps, you really have to have a good eye to see these and it is always tough after you make the call. A lot of times people just assume that because the ball got there before the runner, the runner is out, but a lot of times the fielder doesn't make a good tag, the runner slides under it or they come up with innovative slides

[@collinrowe8427]

Amazing plays... Two questions on 2 of those plays... On Hamilton's bunt, perfect, he avoided the tag, however in the slide he missed contact with the base while the first baseban is touching it. I'm not sure, but that is an out, right?... And I also would like to know (By rule, of course), What's the criteria (if there is any) to go around over the running line? (Hamilton invading infield, Aoki avoiding Turner's tag, Harrison invading infield)... Thanks...

for the billy hamilton one, he slides into first base safely, but he moves his hand off the base for a split second and then he replaces it with his foot, but for that split second, the guy's hand, at least from our perspective, was still on the base, so he should be out

+Ari Ferrari do you watch baseball?

Yeah his hand and feet were off the base while the tag was still on. So he should be out. Badass play regardless.

[@bakergames6275]

K so my family never watched baseball and I just started getting interested in it I love watching it! And I loved playing it as a kid! Here's my question about one of the rules I've always been a little confused about do you have to tag the runner even if you're standing on the base? Because to me I'll have to give them another look it looks like the basemen are standing on the base in some circumstances but still try to tag the runner or in some situations even if you can just touch the base first and you don't have to tag them... It seems like the basemen go for the tag when it would be easier to touch base? How does this rule work?

[@andersonkzaw498]

the baseman has to tag the runner unless its a force out

[@tyriqueowens910]

+Anderson KZAW So how do triple plays work..I was wondering the same thing, if you have to tag the player ?

[@andersonkzaw498]

it all depends. in most situations at least one of the outs comes from a tag, but its possible for it to only happen with force outs. for example, if there is a runner on first and second and there is a ground ball to third, the third baseman can step on third for a force out, throw to 2B for a force out, then throw to 1B for another force out

[@Brian211978]

Puig was out when he came back to the bag after sliding past it. When reached for the base, he touched the catcher's glove with the ball in it. But oh well.
