There are three great things about this:

1) #7's non-catch

2) #12's reaction

3) the slide

[–]styxman34 141 points142 points ago

The slide to first base.

[–]emajae 3 points4 points ago

Really - it's more like the hop-right-over-first-base-grab for first base

[–]rarisgod 3 points4 points ago

I don't get it, why is this significant?

[–]CarbonatedPizza 124 points125 points ago

You can run through first base, sliding is counterproductive.

[–]apextek 84 points85 points ago

but when your a kid you so badly want to slide into every base

[–]rebelpride 8 points9 points ago

when you're an adult you so badly want to slide into every base

[–]apextek 11 points12 points ago

it so reminds me of a story from baseball when I was a kid. THere was this girl on the other team I had a crush on and wanted to get her attention. I don't remember where I thought of it or why I would think its cool. But I ran my bases in a way to make the heel of my foot hit my ass as I ran.

I was big on comedy so I guess I was hoping she would think Im funny and talk to me. My father was mortified. On the drive home "what the hell is wrong with you? you were like a genuine turkey on that field?"

It was in that moment of my 8 year old life it all dawned on me, I had this all wrong, that being a schmuck wasn't going to get me friends or girls, just made me a schmuck.

[–]Chazzey_dude 2 points3 points ago

I'm glad you were enlightened. Once you're in a relationship, then you can be a schmuck.

[–]rebelpride 2 points3 points ago

I have no idea how this relates to sliding into all the bases, but that was an excellent story. Upvotes for you.

[–]apextek 1 point2 points ago

because when i was done running like an ass, I would slide into base no matter what.

    Why can you run through first base?

    [–]purple_ocelot 31 points32 points ago

    I'm going to assume you like soccer. As long as you run straight through the base then you cannot be tagged out. If you make a motion to run to second then you can be tagged. This is so the batter doesn't have to slow down and stop on the bag.

    [–]kewidogg 9 points10 points ago

    I would imagine it's also for safety, as there would often be sliding into first base

    [–]purple_ocelot 6 points7 points ago

    It is technically allowed after little league (after 13 years old) in most leagues. All professional and school teams allow it. It's just a lot faster to run through the bag so nobody does.

    [–]kewidogg 5 points6 points ago

    Right, there's no rule against it, I'm just saying it may be a safer option to allow running through 1st.

    [–]flyingthroughspace 4 points5 points ago

    Sliding into a base is to avoid being tagged. There would be no sliding into first. Ever.

    [–]ShinichiChiba 0 points1 point ago

    This game was like a week ago, suuuuch a good game.

    [–]irndk10 9 points10 points ago

    Not entirely true. There are certainly instances where sliding into first is warranted. People occasionally slide head first into first on close plays, because they feel it's a split second faster (it's debated if it actually is). Another instance is if a throw draws the first baseman off the bag and towards home. In this instance a tag is the first baseman's only play. A slide could be used by the runner to avoid the tag.

    Also, sliding isn't just to avoid a tag. Slides are also used to stop without slowing down. For example, a runner's on first and the batter bunts. The pitcher then throws to second to get the lead runner. The lead runner will slide into second to stop not to avoid tag. If he didn't, he would either over run the bag and get tagged out, or have to slow down too much prior to reaching the bag, wasting time.

    [–]ace_to_mouth 1 point2 points ago

    you occasionally see sliding into first in the majors, just not very often.

    [–]slicwilli 0 points1 point ago

    unless, of course, you are going back to first to avoid being picked off by the pitcher while leading off, or to tag up after a catch. The comments in this thread make me believe I'm one of the only baseball fans on Reddit.

    Edit:"leading off" is when you are already on a base and someone else is at bat. You can step off the base toward the next base at your own risk. The pitcher may attempt to throw you out instead of pitching to the batter. "Tagging up" is when you are on base and the ball is hit and caught by the defense. You must return to the base you came from before advancing or you may be thrown out at that base.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

    as long as you run straight through the base into foul territory, that is

    [–]purple_ocelot 0 points1 point ago

    Nope, this is a common misconception. The runner just can't make an attempt to go to second. The umpire is the judge of that.

    [–]elliot430 0 points1 point ago

    can you run through second and third?

    [–]purple_ocelot 0 points1 point ago

    No, if you do then you can be tagged out.

      [–]slicwilli 0 points1 point ago

      When you hit the ball you want to run as fast as you can to first to avoid being thrown out. With most hits you will not be able to advance to second base if you even make it to first safely(safely as in not out, not safely as in not dangerous). If you're running at full speed it would be unsafe(as in dangerous) to suddenly stop at the bag(bag is another word for base). So, if you know you won't be advancing to second base you can run full speed, step on the bag, and continue running, slowing down gradually and safely(both meanings).

        There are times where sliding into first base is warranted, that is if you have the instinct or heads up to do so. e.g. to avoid a tag on a high or wide throw.

        [–]trooti2 0 points1 point ago

        It is not necessary or even a good idea to slide into first off a hit. As a batter you just need to tag the base, so run as fast as you can and tag the base as you run past it.

        [–]cianobiwan 0 points1 point ago

        The slide over first base.

        [–]drmrsanta 0 points1 point ago

        The jump slide!

        [–]Im_not_the_cops 0 points1 point ago

        and why is he wearing a helmet in the infield?

        [–]RedsoxFan42 0 points1 point ago

        That is the first thing i saw. But it wouldnt protect him in any way because the face of a helmet is open

        [–]Sine_Metu 17 points18 points ago

        4) Helmet on fielder.

        [–]mpavlofsky 6 points7 points ago

        I'm guessing he's the pitcher, and the helmet is to protect him in case of a line drive back at him. Those aluminum bats can really pop the ball, and the pitcher may not be ready for it.

        [–]countchocula86 1 point2 points ago

        vestibule

        [–]jackedbeats 0 points1 point ago

        coming from some one who was a pitcher from age 11 to 17 and got knocked out twice by line drives. yeah a helmet would be awesome. better yet a face mask.

          You forgot the actual play. That was awesome for a little kid.

          Hell I know a lot of people my age who couldn't have stopped that.

          [–]upwithwhich 8 points9 points ago

          ...and I'm probably one of them. Now that I look at it again, #12's got some great hand-eye coordination! He was right to be frustrated...

          [–]modern_warfare_1 4 points5 points ago

          That's what I'm sayin' lol! Kid's gonna be a beast when he gets older.

          [–]Carambar 8 points9 points ago

          7 watches the first kid run then goes back to day dreaming.

          12 makes a perfect catch and pass, and only when he's done throwing the ball with a perfect stance does he notices the receiver doesn't give a fuck. After a moment of despair, he kicks the ground with contained anger.

          7 run after the ball but some other kid is faster than him.

          I missed the bunnyhop-slide. Thanks bro.

          [–]df619 1 point2 points ago

          That's what I noticed. The 2B had a lot more hustle to get to the ball.

          [–]HeathenAntics 2 points3 points ago

          Not to mention the great cover by the right fielder.

          [–]sterling_mallory 2 points3 points ago

          In seriousness though, gotta love #11's hustle.

          [–]ace_invader 1 point2 points ago

          Really hoped 12 was gonna throw his glove on the ground ala Nyjer Morgan

          [–]ronintetsuro 1 point2 points ago

          Didn't see the slide.

          Thanks for making me almost pee myself at my desk.

          [–]BoldElDavo 1 point2 points ago

          Even better, I liked the fact that #12's throw was pretty bad. Kinda bounced past #7's feet.

          [–]someones_dog 1 point2 points ago

            When i played there was a position called pitchers helper who was required to have a helmet. It was in the age group where the coaches pitched to the kids. The coaches couldn't field a ball so they had a little kid stand next to him.

            [–]thyyoungclub 13 points14 points ago

            They're little, and sometimes they make them wear helmets if they're close to the batters. There was a girl on my local little league team who took a line-drive to the face and wore a helmet after that during games.

            [–]eulerfoiler 9 points10 points ago

            Good for her for continuing to play baseball after that! Line-drive to the face is pretty much the worst case scenario.

            [–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

            [–]ncocca 1 point2 points ago

            And this is why I was a terrible batter. I was just constantly afraid of getting hit by the pitch. I'm a wuss.

            [–]ubersaurus 1 point2 points ago

            I got hit twice in the face in the same week. I quit after that season. Later I found out my vision had gotten worse, and I just needed a new prescription.

            (Oh and the scenario: assistant coach throwing curveballs during batting practice.)

              Little leagues use metal bats, which generate higher velocity hits when compared to wood bats.

              It's for safety in the case of hard comebackers.

                    8 year olds tend not to pay attention to anything. Especially when it's a bunch of kids who are terrible at baseball, baseball is awesome when the people can actually play. All the people I know who don't like it, played it when they were like 6, no shit it was boring, so is 6 year old basketball.

                      Doesn't mean they're paying attention though. I referee youth football that goes anywhere from 8-13 year olds. I can promise you that with the youngest group, they may be running around, but that doesn't mean they're actually paying any attention at all.

                      They're having fun because they're kids and kids like to run around. It doesn't mean they like playing football because they're really not, they're just arbitrarily running around. It's just that sometimes they have a ball while running around. Kind of like little kids playing basketball. They don't know the rules or what's actually happening, they just like running around.

                        From tball through machine pitch the pitcher wears a helmet. Once they reach the age to where they can actually pitch, they stop wearing the helmet.

                        Confirmed. I also hit a kid in the head twice in one game playing t-ball. Then again when I switched to machine pitching. Then again when it switched to real pitching. Then we moved and I never played baseball again.

                        They are the "pitcher" who stands behind the coach with the pitching machine. They (the pitchers) are only 46 feet away when the other kids are at least 60 feet away.

                        [–]BulkVanderhuge 1 point2 points ago

                        This looks like a "kid pitch" league which is awful. The kids almost NEVER get the ball across the plate or throw strikes. The kids at bat almost never hit the ball. It's basically a series of walks and strike outs by kids who swing at bad pitches. So for everyone BUT the pitcher and catcher and batter to be paying attention is pretty common. Kid pitch at that age is atrociously boring. Machine pitch or coach pitch allows for more involvement by all the kids.

                        Yes, because no one pays attention in MLB.

                          The slide kills me. He doesn't even initiate until after the base.

                          I was always the kid not watching. Always. I use to put my glove on my face and spin around in right field. My baseball career and my father's pride in me were both short lived.

                          Haven't seen anybody mention the first runner at the beginning of the clip. Maybe the 1st baseman assumed the play was at second, and wasn't paying attention. Doesn't excuse him completely, but he may not be at fault here.

                          Devil's advocate to your devil's advocate, it could have been a 2 out situation, 1st base would be the better play.

                          [–]Shamson 1 point2 points ago

                          I got kicked off my T-ball team when I was a kid because the guy on first base would put his glove over his face every time you threw him the ball. One day I punched him in the face.

                          This reminds me too much of me playing baseball as a kid. No I didn't just stand there, when I actually did try, and failed, I'd get the same reaction from my "teammates". I was so bad and the discouraging behaviour I saw from the other players is what probably made me not want to even bother with sports.

                          Geez this just reminds me of the multitude of embarrassing moments I had playing baseball as a kid. The worst was during a teeball game when I was playing the outfield. The ball pops up I go to catch it, but the sun blocks my view so I miss the ball. The ball is nowhere to be found. We have 3 or 4 other players trying to find it. As the the batter continues to run to home the ball falls out of my sleeve. I never heard so much laughter.

                          That kid reminds me of this little shithead that plays on my 11 year old brothers team. The kid is a great ball player but a complete asshole who doesn't try unless he gets to pitch. Last game the coach had him play catcher and because little shithead was throwing a hissy fit over not pitching, he overthrew the ball back to the pitcher, the runner on third scored and they lost the game. Granted they were already down by 6 runs but that is neither here nor there, it's still the principal of the matter. It's kids like that that make me never want to procreate on the off chance I spawn a little shithead like him.

                          When I was in first grade, one day, we were playing kickball. For non Americans or people unfamiliar, it's basically baseball, but played with a big rubber ball that is "bowled" toward the "kicker" rather than a baseball that is pitched toward a batter.

                          I was on second base zoning out. At some point I noticed a kid running past me really fast. Turned out he was the kid who had just kicked. While he ran, I stood there on second instead of running to third, and he lapped me.

                          After consulting the rules, I was deemed "out". Also "lame".

                          Did anyone see the runner on first that took off in the first .01 seconds of the gif? First baseman was likely distracted by that. Still agree with the pitcher's frustration, though.

                          My opinion on baeball is that it's the ultimate spectators' sport. You don't watch it for the gear grinding action like MMA or basketball. You watch it as a pastime. You go get a hot dog, a beer, and you chill out for a few hours with your Dad and argue strategy and stats while sitting there. I did that with my father at Red Sox games, and it was some of the best childhood moments I had.

                          He should feel bad for that bad throw that he threw.

                          As someone who hated baseball and was forced into playing for years at a young age, number 7 was pretty much me.

                          We should also be fair here, that was a fucking terrible throw by number 12, it looks like it landed at number 7's feet, a baseman shouldn't have to field a grounder from the pitcher to make a tag.

                          That's being "fair" in the Fox news definition of the word. To be "fair," the kid could have fucking moved a muscle. One muscle.

                          The first baseman doesn't have to make a tag. And while no, he shouldn't have to field a grounder from the pitcher, he needs to be capable of fielding low throws because a huge percentage of throws from 3B/SS come off the ground.

                          Look at where the runner 'slides' i.e. where the base is. There's no way #7 could have fielded that throw and tagged the base before the runner gets there.
