[@coramoor3]

For those wondering about why the infield fly rule was not imposed on some of these clips: "The rule applies only when there are fewer than two outs, and there is a force play at third base (i.e., when there are runners at first and second base, or the bases are loaded). In these situations, if a fair fly ball is in play, and in the umpire's judgment is catchable by an infielder with ordinary effort, the umpire shall call "infield fly" (or more often, "infield fly, batter is out") and the batter will be out regardless of whether the ball is actually caught." So only having a runner on first isn't enough to bring in the infield fly rule. The only subjective part of this is the "umpire's judgment" part, and I'm assuming that's why the infield fly wasn't called at 5:52. Personally, I think that one should have been an infield fly.

[@earthwormticci9215]

[@robstyles8535]

PlayerIdentity yes it was. The infield fly rule has been around for a long time.

The game that I hate the most... my team won by so much it was like the other team wasn't even there. It was so boring I left at the 5th inning and looked up the game results the next day.

[@KutuluMike]

these clips make me realize one thing: I have no idea how the infield fly rule works.

[@Quickturealeyes]

Michael Edenfield play at 5:57 should definitely have been an infield fly rule; there has to be less than two outs and runners on first and second. Umpiring fail

[@SanjiEastBlue]

Basically it's to prevent the fielding team from intentionally letting a pop up ball drop in the infield, which would give them the chance for an unfair double or even triple play with 0-1 outs, where all runners are forced (must run to give way for the next base runner)

[@KutuluMike]

@@SanjiEastBlue That's what I thought... but that's exactly what happened in at least one of these clips... ?

[@SanjiEastBlue]

@@KutuluMike I think some of these plays happened before the IFR existed

[@CaraVerde]

Question from a former softball player: So, we must tag the runners to consider them out (no "burn" bases like softball)? If so, why it seems that base 1 can be burnt, unlike other bases?

[@bradshorts5861]

Always nice rewatching all these great vids

[@sleeepymoe]

new to baseball so I am wondering why the runner in 0:58 is safe? He wasn't tagged but his opponent touched 2nd base before him

[@yessir2873]

Touching the base is out only if the runner cannot go back to the previous base. EX. First Base, On first base the previous base if home plate and you cannot go on it. In second base, he could go back to first base if needed. EX. That Play (0:58) On double plays where they just touch the base, its still out because there is another runner on first meaning the base is occupied and he can't go back. I hope this helps

There are a couple of plays that I thought were going to be in here that were not... 😢 Specifically a couple of Dustin Pedroia.

Definitely love the one of his heads up base running though!!:-)

[@saragrant9749]

[@CounterSniper67]

Can someone knowledgable about baseball explain the play at 1:41 to me. I only know the basics of baseball and this play is intriguing to me. Was that actually an out?

[@imtheattacker]

He caught the ball. If the ball goes off the bat and is caught, the batter is out. Plus, it's Anthony Rizzo. Of course it is. He's a beast

[@CounterSniper67]

Cody Smith I understand an out in the field of play. But my upbringing was in football where stepping out of the field of play nullifies all offensive and defensive actions after that point. So basically you’re saying he could theoretically continue running up the bleachers and catch a ball 10, 20, or 30 rows up and it’s considered an out?

[@imtheattacker]

@@CounterSniper67 I'm not a huge baseball fan. I watch it with my grandfather. Eh. But given the fact that he can basically be out of the field and catch it and it's out, I guess so.

[@milkman1026]

It was not counted as an out because it was deemed out of the field of play. You can see the first base ump point in to the stands signaling a foul ball. I think basically if it's beyond what would be considered a normal reach, it's foul.

[@alanhess9306]

@@imtheattacker Rizzo stepped into dead ball territory so he cannot make a catch for the out. It ended up being a foul ball out of play, no catch.

[@helookalikaman79]

2:35 Watch the first base player, it looks like he is covering his junk like he got hit by the runner... But I don't see where... is he trying to get the player ejected ?

[@BrokenSaintRW]

Richard Kingz Trout thought the infielder would catch the ball, meaning he would have to back to first or be out. He headed back, but the fielder purposely let it fall, so trout got forced out at second because the hitter got to first.

So does the infield fly rule not exist in the MLB?

[@RayRay-zt7bj]

Oh course it exists but when you can make a play, such as on a soft line drive before the umpire is able to call an infield fly, it is legal. I now see the play at 5:57 and yeah, the ump should have called that one. Oh again at 8:57. That was really a huge flub by the umpires. Sorry, I should have watched the whole video before commenting.

[@robstyles8535]

RayRay 711 the one at 5:57 I think didn’t go high enough in the opinion of the umps to make the call. The one at 8:57 there is only one runner so the rule doesn’t apply in that situation.

[@paybsix1010]

the second one, wouldn't it be a double play too if he catch it out then throw it to first?

[@ajamusic7322]

how are some of these dropped infield flies not infield flies?

[@ronaldcammarata3422]

Some are man on first only (not first and second) so infield fly rule does not apply. Others are judgment call by umpires whether ball was hit high enough to be considered a fly ball.

No because if u watch the ball it landed in the outfield

[@robstyles8535]

Zachary W the infield fly rule is for when there are runners on first and second or bases loaded. On that play there was only one runner. Infield fly rule doesn’t apply here.

[@alanhess9306]

@@jenniferiurato5333 No, a ball coming down in the outfield could still be an infield fly if an infielder could make the catch with ordinary effort.

[@banjaxedw.7880]

And that one at the start when he let it drop but if refs don’t call, it don’t happen

[@ronaldcammarata3422]

No, only with men at first AND second. That's to prevent dropping it to get a double play. With only a man at first, since the batter will (should) be running hard to first in any case, dropping the ball will (should) lead only to a force at second, but not a double play.

[@teemusid]

When Abreu threw his 1st baseman's glove to the pitcher, an umpire could have decided that the pitcher was using an illegal glove. The out would have counted, as the only penalty is to remove the glove from play. I don't think that would ever happen, but Angel Hernandez is still employed, and never underestimate him.
