As a Guardians fan who lives in Houston, let’s be clear. Sign stealing from second is in no way cheating and having to balk because we aren’t able to disguise or protect the sign is an us problem. Not a them problem.

It’s ashame we have to listen to Matt Underwood tell a story about a former player for the White Sox for 2 innings!!! I so much enjoy listening to other mlb teams announcers.

This umpire called a balk on the pitcher. He said the pitcher did not come to a complete stop or pause. I see a pause, I did not think it was a balk. Half the people say balk, the other half say no balk. What’s your call? Did he come to a complete stop/set or was it a balk?

🚨 Mariners’ Pickoff Play • 1st baseman dekes back to the base then resets his position. • As the runner retakes his lead, the catcher drops his glove & the pitcher picks. ⭐️ Very creative play to catch overly aggressive baserunners.

Cade Smith enjoyed a wonderful rookie season in the dominant Cleveland Guardians bullpen. The AL Rookie of the Year finalist lands as The Shredder's #2 relief pitcher on the #Top10RightNow.

That time Chase Anderson intentionally hit Alfredo Simon to prevent the runner from stealing home. The next time Simon faced Anderson, Simon drilled him intentionally and was thrown out of the game.

This runner at second base tried to steal third base. The catcher throws the ball down to the third base girl, she applies the tag and the runner is called out. The coach wanted obstruction on the third base girl. The 3rd base umpire said no obstruction. They ask for the home plate umpire’s help but he sticks with the call from the 3rd base umpire. When you look at it, the runner had a clear path to the bag but ran high and slid into the third base girl when if she had gone in more of a straight line would have made the tag harder. She didn’t try to slide into the base but rather the fielder imho. I say no obstruction and the right call was made. You make the call.

This team was down by 7 runs in the last inning. They made a comeback and scored the winning run by this young man stealing home. 👏 This is why as a catcher, you never throw the ball back to the pitcher from your knees with runners on base. You always stand and take a look at the runner, ESPECIALLY with a runner on third and in this scenario, the game winning run. That’s poor coaching imho. It’s the little fundamentals that are coached in practice that add up to whether a team is prepared or not for the games. Where was the coach telling his catcher to keep an eye on the runner at third?

MOVEMENT BEFORE ACTION STEALS AT FIRST BASE 1) Not your only tool but a good tool for special occasions. 2) Based on some pitchers being creatures of habits. 3) Good for the average to below average runner. 4) Good for the + runner vs. + leg pitcher & + arm catcher.

On a steal of HP & a pitch is thrown, if the catcher steps up & catches the ball in front of HP the pitcher is charged with a balk & runners advance. The batter is also awarded 1st base on catcher’s interference.

Scenario 1 of 3 that I go over in my latest YouTube video “how to defend the walk to 2nd base with a runner on 3rd” For this specific scenario here’s a couple key points: •Get the ball back to the pitcher quickly. This forces the runner on third to commit and either break for home or retreat to the bag. •As pitcher is getting the ball back in the circle, peek to make sure the runner from 3rd went back to bag. •Allow the runner rounding 1st to get close to the 2nd baseman. The closer she is, the quicker the tag can be applied, allowing for an immediate throw home if the runner from third attempts to score. My biggest takeaway is at the end of this video. Let the girls try and make some plays. Get them to be competitive. The more they do it, the more comfortable they will get at it. Don’t just give up a free base- make the other team work for it.

There is a right way to play this game and a wrong way and this is 100% in the wrong. I don’t care that the batter moved back out of the box- you don’t intentionally step back to throw at her head, as hard as you can, from about a foot away. I don’t want to hear “you don’t know it wasn’t intentional.” Save it. The runner at 3rd is about a half step off 3rd. The way the catcher is positioned to throw, that throw is going towards the 3rd base fence. The most telling part though? No one checks on that batter and catcher gets a high five right after from her coach. The batter ended up with a concussion. This is completely unacceptable and has no place in this sport.

Whether it’s a missed hit & run sign or not, having the base runner stop because they’re out by so much is 🔥! Bailey is tied for the most runners caught stealing this season with 12. He’s pretty fun to watch! #thelifeofacatcher

Alex Cora and the Red Sox bench really wanted Hunter Brown to be called for a balk after switching from the windup to the stretch in the middle of an at bat with a runner on third After some discussion with the umpires, no balk was called

Tigers intentionally hit umpire Quinn Wolcott with Pitch Catcher sold it pretty well. The fact that he doesn't check on the ump and goes up to talk to his pitcher certainly makes it seem intentional. Can you imagine the "umpires" rushing the mound!
