[@lscales6131]

I remember a time I was at a AAA game. An outfielder didn’t realize that there were only two outs. He went to give a kid (maybe about 10-12 years old) the ball the kid literally yelled at him that it was only two outs and the guy threw the ball in and got the runner going to 3rd out. After that inning he brought a game ball, a hat signed by the team, and a bat to the kid for paying attention and helping him out. I thought that was very nice.

[@1223baddad]

Did that player ever make it to the majors? Just curious 🤔 🙃

[@jhandle4196]

If he threw the ball to the runner, did the runner tag himself out, or did he tag the third baseman?

[@lscales6131]

@@1223baddad not that I remember honestly. It was a little bit ago. It was the Nashville sound around the early 90s. The ball player wasn’t anyone of note that I can remember.

They should jot it down on those little note papers they keep in their back pockets, which MLB should not allow.

[@ShadowHawk4219]

I guess that's why i see some players putting up 1 or 2 fingers to other players after an out. Imagine making that kind of error in a World Series that costs you a game.

[@RobRochon]

ahhhh...its easier to lose track than you might think. Remember that these guys play 162 games a year, which is 4,131 outs (average 8.5 innings in the field) per year. Sometimes it just happens where a lot may be going on in a play getting your mind on something else in that split second moment, or things are so boring and quiet your brain gets lulled to sleep. Of course it shouldn't happen but you know shit happens sometimes.

[@rftulie]

Wow, this makes me feel better. I play in a slow-pitch softball league and I'm always asking how many outs there are. We have no scoreboard (some of our parks actually have them, but they are never on). These guys can look up at almost any angle of a major league ballpark and there will be a large, easily legible out total somewhere in their field of vision!

[@ddebenedictis]

Ok one of you is going to know this...help me out. Say there is a runner on first base and one out. Batter flies out for the second out. Fielder doesn't know how to count to three and throws the ball to a lass that has been flirting with him all game. She hangs on to it and refuses to give it back. How far can the runner advance? Second base? Or all the way home?

[@NotExplicable]

@@ddebenedictis I think it's two bases

[@NotExplicable]

@@ddebenedictis " All throws from the outfield. All throws from the outfield that go out of play are treated the same as second throw from the infield. That is, the ball is dead and all runners, including the batter-runner, are awarded two bases from the time of the throw. There's a lot to digest on the overthrow out of play scenario, and because it's such a common event on amateur fields, you need to just sit down and learn it. Most rules that have multiple parts tend to progress logically. If you know one part, the successive parts emerge naturally. Not so much in this case"

By the way, I love how this entire video is a mishmash of offense and defense napping. Just so you never know what to expect.

[@dankubus1633]

@@jamaalfridge More baseless Joe Buck slams. Once again, I've never seen anyone who slams Buck give any actual REASON why he's bad. Because they've got nothing. Buck is the best in the business. Not that Vasgersian is BAD, but his voice gets FAR more irritating at exciting moments. It gets WAY too high-pitched and shrill, and his predilection for saying "SANTA MARIA" sounds simply ridiculous and embarrassing. I cringe whenever I hear that. One of the greatest moments in baseball history occurred when David Bote hit his ultimate slam, but I never watch replays of it because Vasgersian spoiled it with a huge pus-filled zit of "SANTA MARIA!!!!" during it. When Vasgersian speaks normally, though, he's very good, just like virtually every other baseball announcer. Buck, however, is the best in the business. He strikes the right balance of normal voice and exciting voice so that he can somehow make even the normal and routine sound exciting, while the exciting sound even MORE exciting. Remember Alex Gordon's base hit in the 9th inning of Game 7 of the 2014 World Series? Buck called that to PERFECTION. Oh, my goodness.

Love your comment was thinking the same thing

[@88porpoise]

In my experience it is someone else’s fault in most cases. They are preplanned plays and the pitcher is supposed to throw it tp the base without even looking. The fielder plays off the base and breaks at the last moment to be there when the throw arrives to not give the runner more than the minimum warning. In those cases, either the pitcher misread the signal or the fielder missed it. And in my experience the latter is more likely.

Nothing will top a young David Cone arguing a call at first while not one but two Atlanta Braves score.

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

Went with a friend to a Cubs game where Cone started for the visitors (Mets?). After doing the usual buy the cheapest upper deck tickets and then sit wherever we wanted, we ended up about 15 rows behind the 1st base dugout. The Mets were up 5-2 when my friend and I decided to start razzing Cone during his windups. We would yell "Hey Cone, you're a bum!" in unison, and he he threw 3 straight balls to walk the guy he was facing. Then he was like 2-1 on the next guy with us doing the same thing, and then I said to my friend, OK maybe hes getting used to it, so now let's skip a pitch and see if it messes with him. Sure enough, another ball, 3-1. I don't remember what happened with that batter but it must not have been a good inning for David, cuz my friend and I were comprehensively entertained by the ongoing results. After a couple innings of us hassling Cone on about 70% of his pitches, it must have started bothering him more and more cuz eventually he started looking toward us between pitches and pounding his fist in his glove. So of course we kept at it until he lost the lead and got pulled, the Cubs went on to win, and the Mets burned thru a big chunk of their bullpen, which they had been hoping to avoid doing with David getting the start. And that was the first of three ballgames we saw that day. After the nooner at Wrigley, we cruised on down to Comiskey to take in an afternoon White Sox game, and then after that headed a few miles over to northwest Indiana to watch the Kane County Cougars play a night road game. The crowd down there didn't like us too much, with us dressed like preppies, smoking giant cigars and cheering the visiting team in a stadium full of down-home farmers. Then a lady ten rows behind us decided to take offense to the cigar smoke and try to shut us down by challenging our seating assignments. She karened at us from ten rows back and asked if we were going to go away or was she going to call the usher. We said call the usher, so she did. Of course we had done the usual thing of sitting wherever we wanted, but we didn't care - getting kicked out would have been just as entertaining to us as watching the game was. Best part was, the usher merely sent us to our actual assigned seats, which were nine rows behind us - directly in front of the lady who had just called the usher on us. So we kept smoking the ridiculous cigars (we had actually bought the biggest clown-sized ones they had, but they were cheap and tasted awful) and blowing the smoke over our shoulders. Not one of my prouder moments, but at the time it was thoroughly enjoyable, especially cuz our teams won all three games.
