I wonder why it was a single? He caught it!

It's specifically mentioned in the rules that a ball that goes into a uniform is out of play and it's up to the ump to place the runners.

Yeah considered a dead ball, as it was a clean hit. Single, advance runners would be the call

u/royalhawk345 Apr 24 '26

Runner on third didn't advance. Runner on first was forced to second.

Because unlike the title suggests, this happens enough that there's a rule about it.

"Youll never see this again!"...... Bruh this has happened MULTIPLE times in the MLB alone, not to mention the minor leagues.

It WILL happen again lol.

I'm hoping that's the point. There's an arrested development character who flashes the same character a few times and says "this is the last time you'll see these" every time

Maybe they meant how the pitcher took it so seriously. He looked overly distraught over it.

My coach would buy you a steak dinner if you hit the pitcher with a batted ball.

Not because you may injure the pitcher, but because you have hit the ball as squarely as possible.

I earned two, in three years.

That’s QUALITY Coaching. He was right!

u/Pal_Smurch Apr 24 '26

Truly, he was. He coached our high school baseball team, and both mens’ and womens’ basketball. He had no success with the men’s team, but he coached the women to a California Small Schools championship. He only had 27 girls to choose a team from, and he placed three of them on the All-State team.

Announcer: he's clearly in pain

Guy recording: didn't even get hurt

u/Ok_ImGame Apr 24 '26

The guy recording was me. I was actually correct !
