MLB Trick Plays

[@austin8783]

kinsler's play was the smartest in baseball history. get the runner out at 2nd by intentionally dropping the ball so you can have a slower runner on 1st. genius

[@notsauer]

Green Day182 lol love how excited the crowd got when he dropped it. Then they're like, "oh"

[@keyera1717]

Green Day182 ya and also it's illegal to do that. The umpires made a mistake, you cannot drop a hall intentially. Maybe know the game

[@bonzjoe]

Only if the infield fly rule is in effect, which it was not due to only one runner being on :P

[@notsauer]

EAbeast_17 that only is in effect on line drives going right into the glove and being dropped to start a DP. And whatever Mike Lowell did when he was on the Marlins. For Kinsler play, it was a high fly ball and with 1 runner on, the infield fly rule wasn't in effect

[@nintendonerdsvideos4727]

Rule 5.09(12) An infielder intentionally drops a fair fly ball or line drive, with first, first and second, first and third, or first, second and third base occupied before two are out. The ball is dead and runner or runners shall return to their original base or bases;

[@RobJazzful]

“What a play by [Yadier] Molina?” How many times have we heard that over the years?

[@greyk610]

Jose made a good play there. Guy would have been safe if he had thrown to first, and completely fooled the runner who would have scored.. RIP buddy.

I LOVE BASEBALL! I INVENTED SOME TRICK PLAYS WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND FORCED TO PLAY FAST PITCH SOFTBALL. SAME RULES AS BASEBALL, SMALLER SOFTBALL. IN ONE GAME THE OTHER TEAM'S COACH ORDERED HIS PLAYERS TO "STAY ON THE BAG. WITH THESE GUYS WE NEVER KNOW WHERE THE BALL IS!" OF COURSE I, WHO WAS BEHIND THE AWOL BALL YELLED, "DON'T LISTEN TO HIM. THE BALL IS WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE! WHERE WE CAN GET YOU OUT!" I HAD MY COACH IN TEARS BECAUSE HE NEVER KNEW WHERE THE BALL WAS EITHER. JUST THAT INNING WE PULLED OFF 2 TRICK PLAYS FOR OUTS AND A STRICK OUT.

THIS IS THEE VERY BEST PART OF BASEBALL!! THAT, IS THE BIGGEST PART THAT MAKES BASEBALL SO FUN AND EXCITING!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BASEBALL!!! SINCE B4 I CAN REMEMBER. MY DAD'S LOVE OF THE SPORT HE SHARED WITH ME, THE OLDEST. AND I AM A GIRL, NOW A GROWN WOMAN WHO LOVES BASEBALL AND WHOSE LOVE OF THE SPORT GETS DEEPER AND MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE YET COMPLIMENTED WITH THE PASSING OF TIME. I ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, SO VERY SPECIAL AND AWESOME LOVE BASEBALL. DID I SAY THAT CORRECTLY? LET ME TRY AGAIN: I, AS IN ME, BEYOND MEASURE, LOVE BASEBALL

[@jackcollins1252]

Ichiros play was definitely the best saving the game tying run in the bottom of the 9th

[@michaeliii6250]

Infield fly can't exist without two runners on, but these plays make you wonder.

[@PATexas]

The shortstop at 0:45 was dope. They should have let him get away with that DP.

4:22 why is there a fan on the field wearing 41 for the stros? or is it a make a wish moment?

[@maksimzarkich6123]

On March 16, 2017, the final investigative report on the incident confirmed that Fernández was driving the boat at the time of the incident "in a reckless manner, at an extremely high rate of speed, in the darkness of night, in an area with known navigational hazards such as rock jetties and channel markers." The report concluded that he was legally drunk, had cocaine in his system, and violated a number of state laws, including boating under the influence, manslaughter, vessel homicide, and reckless or careless operation of a vessel. Just saying.

[@revkenordquist]

any ball player or actor named Molina is pretty frikkin good in my books

Hidden ball trick by Todd Helton. Cheap, but great!

[@eiserntorsphantomoftheoper2154]

3:50 The only thing almost as entertaining as the 'hidden ball trick' is the "fake" hidden ball trick. Dang boy you about gave me a heart attack

[@cheekypasta55]

isnt that last one an infield fly or shouldnt it be illegal in some way? or was it not hung up enough?

[@user-sh6wj9td3r]

Jansen de Guzmán only one runner on I think

[@warrendaychief973]

has to be one guy on first and second for infield fly rule

[@cheekypasta55]

Warren Day Chief I did not know that. Thought it only needed one runner on. Thanks

[@logan_nowicki]

They said earlier in the video that you cannot drop it intentionally, also they weren't able to pull the double play regardless. I think they just wanted to get a faster runner off the bag.

[@schantykhan2397]

Jansen Ravioli No, it's first and second or bases loaded, thanks

[@erikeisner1288]

In case you don’t know the rule at 0:53, you cannot intentionally drop a ball. You can let it bounce, but you can’t have it in your glove and open your glove.

[@Wheels2056]

At 2:00, the look on that guy's face is fucking priceless.

Question from someone who has no idea about baseball - are the outs considered cheap or clever

[@hutchlogan1124]

Matt James Clever

[@Manmanit80]

The announcer, said it's not going to matter on that last one, but Altuve was originally on 1st base, so it is going to matter by taken speed off the bag

[@2010drive]

They could just use a pinch runner...

[@mtthwrox4646]

You were off by about 8 inches😂

[@kevinadrian9366]

Actually the defensive team can't do that to change a fast runner for a slower runner. The original runner stays on first and the batter is out.

[@ShadowsAces]

There is no rule against purposely dropping a fly ball to cause a single force out, the only rules that are in place are to stop cheap double plays from occurring, such as the infield fly rule or what happened at 0:44 where the player grabbed the line drive and put it on the ground to start a double play. The proof is that the "original runner" Colby Rasmus did not return to first base, he was replaced by Tyler White due to the force out.

[@alanhess9306]

Nice play Jose rip

[@robbienapier4176]

I like how the announcers on the Altuve hidden ball said that he could tag him with the ball in his pocket but you have to tag with the ball. You’d think the announcers would know that

[@alanhess9306]

Rule 5.06(c)(7) Comment: If a ball is intentionally placed inside a player’s uniform (e.g., a pants pocket) for the purpose of deceiving a base runner, the umpire shall call “Time.” The umpire will place all runners at least one base (or more if warranted, in the umpire’s judgment, in order to nullify the action of the ball being put out of play), from the base they originally occupied. The runner should have been awarded third base when Altuve put the ball in his pocket.

[@sarycaleb]

I just wanted to confirm but, in this play 3:14, the team didn't need to get into a run down with the runner right?, they just needed to throw to second, right?

[@alanhess9306]

Once the batter was out at first base, there is no longer a force play and the runner who was on first base needs to be tagged.

[@lanicline5347]

Without Altuve, videos about base running mistakes would not be as plentiful.

kids aren't learning these plays in little league now because mommies cry "it's not fair."

[@garnerwilson8134]

What is the advantage of the last play? If he caught it or not, someone still would've ended up on first.

[@dankeykang1204]

Garner Wilson Slow runner hitting the pop up, fast runner was on second. Let it drop to get the fast runner out and leave slow runner on base.

[@notsauer]

Garner Wilson fast runner was on first and was out at second on a force. Just clarifying.

[@garnerwilson8134]

Thank you. I was thinking maybe he was a fast runner.

Leo He was an AMAZING young pitcher. On his way to a hall of fame career. Also was an amazing person and died on September 26 at the age of 24

[@1stk8]

I love watching this videos not a big big fan but what does it mean when they drop the all ball on purpose

[@alanhess9306]

What you said is essentially true but in the second one, Kinsler let the ball fall untouched which is legal. had he touched it and intentionally dropped it, the umpire would have killed the play and called the batter out.

[@Leon_der_Luftige]

Why didn't he catch the ball in the last clip? (I'm not that familiar with the rules)

To declare "Infield Fly" must be at least runners on 1st and 2nd base

[@alanhess9306]

You cannot guide the ball to the ground or catch it and then purposely drop it for the purpose of turning a double play. It is legal to allow the ball to hit the ground before fielding it.

infield fly rules make no sense. i’ve seen bloopers they let drop and get the double play. some bloopers the same height they call infield fly. then a play like the hanley one in here doesn’t make any sense to me why it would be called out.
