There wasn't a play at home off the bat though - the runner was on second at the start of play.
It's a bad play either way. However, since there were two outs, if the runner scored, the inning would be over and the run would be nullified if they still forced Baez out after that.I don't really understand why people are focusing on their being two outs? It's always a force at first. The only reason to tag somebody running to first is if the throw or a ground ball brings the fielder up the line.
oh my christ
Baseball is dumb and it sucks
Baseball is brilliant and I love it.
I was listening to Wilbon rant on PTI a few days ago about this, and it melted my brain more than most bad Wilbon takes. "BASEBALL IS ABOUT CHEATING, PEOPLE HAVE DONE THIS FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS! DON'T GET RID OF CHEATING!"MLB cracking down on substances for pitching
There is no major professional sport so trapped in its own past as baseball.Baseball is fine, but it sure feels archaic at times. Especially the attitudes of the people in charge and their players.
alonso's first round was just truly unreal. He just couldn't help but hit every pitch 450+ feet away. Feel real bad for Salvy who also had an incredible round and would have advanced on every other match. alonso is just a derby machine. (also, special credit to his bp tosser. all real credit goes to alonso, but it's impressive how consistently he was grooving them in. good thing to have)Pretty fun watching Pete Alonso hit home runs on the moon. Too bad Shohei didn't perform better though.
