I honestly dont think it’s that genius! His back was turned when the pitch was called and the ump wasn’t loud with it… i think he really believed he was walked

Third baseman far off the bag, with a right handed hitter up no less

That is why you don't puff before games…

Always tag even if you think you don't need to

The catcher shoulda still tagged him wether it was a ball or not

Rules are Rules . . .

It was a balk😮😮

The editing is top-tier. Seriously impressive

Nah that's on coach, just like people rag on jr smith during the finals, the coach should always be looking out

Wouldn't have cost the catcher ANYTHING but one second to reach out and tag the runner before he crossed. If it's a dead ball, so what. If it's the end of the inning, so what. If it embarrasses you, so what. Always pay attention, and always do the right thing. This is is a life lesson the catcher won't soon forget.

Much of life looks unimportant, not worth paying attention to, or things to just "let slide". The converse, catastrophes and disasters (things that change your life forever, and even make & kill you) are often just seconds of inattention, or where we get lazy and not do the right thing. Happens all the damn time.

Illegal

The way you explained this is SO clear. Thank you

It is balk…this is a dumb video. That kid didn't trick anyone.

Who else is here before this blows up

I think the kid on third didn’t know what the fuck was going on

It is not sneaky. The runner advanced to home on a balk. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is it possible to enjoy this sport without a law degree? Every other sport is about making great play moves or showing exceptional talent when appearing in shorts. Baseball is always about sneakily doing something unexpected with everybody bickering over the rules.

Always.

Catcher got a team ordered rehab

Why are we ignoring the balk call..

Wow, talk about great deception!😅😅😅😅
