It doesn't even seem routine when the ump is about to call a runner out when he had nothing to do with the play. Dunno what rule is supposed to be, but I argue if batter strikes out AND interferes then it's a no-play batter out. If you can just go ahead and call a runner out as punishment, then there'd have to be a rule about WHICH runner to call out and all that, cuz what if there's a guy on 1st and 3rd, which one would you call out in that case?

@@Jivvi you punish the person that broke the rule. Sure the runner likely would've been caught out but you can't know for certain.

[@DeanHolmes-i2l]

I'm a former HS umpire, and each year there were 10 to 15 rule changes and or clarifications. So if a head coach didn't read the rule book for 10 years, they'd have missed 100 to 150 rule changes and or clarifications. Most players don't get that involved in the rules beyond the basics. What's worse is when the become announcers and are trying to explain something they really don't know.

[@davej3781]

So If there was a strike out would the runner have actually been called out?? If the batter interferes with the catcher’s throw after the batter is out on strike three, the umpire shall call “Time,” and the runner is declared out for the batter’s interference. All other runners are returned to the base they previously occupied. (See also Play (2) in Interpretation #76 and Play (14) in Interpretation #58.)

Either there is another rule that would allow such a call or umpires are allowed to invent rules from time to time. This was not addressed in the video. Edit: I FIGURED IT OUT. There IS another rule that would apply. Rule 6.01 (a)(5): "Any batter or runner who has just been put out, or any runner who has just scored, hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate."

@@blackice1796 I think you answered your own question. Baseball already has an issue with being too slow at times. We wouldn't want to see it become a viable strategy to constantly try interfere with a catcher in every steal situation. Plus, we'd probably see a lot of guys wind up breaking their nose when a ball gets yeeted right into their face.

@@blackice1796 if you think about it, a purposeful interference could be a better opportunity to advance the runner than a bunt, so there has to be some punishment. And since the batter is the one that interfered, they’re the one that faces that punishment

2:43 - right about where his R hand is is where me and my dad saw Bob Welch SO Reggie Jackson in 1978 WS game 2

[@janetracer]

Knowing Joe West is likely to retire soon I was worried where I'd get my fix of bad umpire calls... I see I have nothing to fear.

[@Oceangirl_505]

👍

[@Briansgate]

There's' still Angel Hernandez and Doug Eddings.

[@Crisperdad]

Hahaha loved the bob head at the end! This video's the best of the series. Very interesting

[@bes03c]

I love how Jomboy conveys the usual confusion. There were unfortunately few "horses**ts" though

[@Adam-vp4rf]

5:17 My favorite pitcher! Jomboy Treinen

[@FaliggetFTW]

Great breakdown showing friendly opposing player interactions.

[@snaphookright4767]

Jomboy drops all that baseball knowledge and the most memorable part for me was Jomboy coming in relief at the end of the video.

[@natewilson111]

I just like how they were still having a good time

[@TheCasualGamer13]

This, plus when you broke down running with my brewers sausages might be the best breakdown yet.

[@AdamS235]

Braves always look like they’re having fun, good for the game

[@xExplosionsofAwesome]

I don't even watch baseball, but these breakdowns are so well done.

[@truenorth2653]

TBH, it is impressive to me that the umpires would know such an obscure rule. Unimpressive is their ability to keep track of balls and strikes.😂

[@jeromemccollom936]

The rule is so obscure it wasn't actually cited

[@jadakid6942]

Mookie at 3:25 holding up 2 fingers (strikes) when the Atlanta coach comes over and says it was 1-1. He’s playing so innocent like he didn’t know the count 😂

[@snowboard424]

I want to see Jomboy edit his face on every face in the crowd for the final seconds of the next breakdown.

[@tomace9767]

Lol and all the players and umps and coaches, nothing but Jomboy’s everywhere

[@kan6039]

I'm sure the editors really don't want to see that

[@WrestleGermainia]

As a cluless drunk Brit who bartely grasps what on earth is going on most of these videos, I ama amazed I understood exactly what you were talking about this entire video. Well explained my friend
