Buck is the man!!!! Literally an angel sent down from the baseball heavens and is now managing my New York Metropolitans. Extremely thankful for this man.
@@philbelichick24 A balk is when the pitcher breaks his motion towards the plate without stepping off the rubber. So you cant start to throw to the plate and then suddenly throw to third or whatever to pick off a runner
@@philbelichick24 there is also different balks but all center around the pitchers motion. If a man on first, and a rh pitcher purposely/accidently twitches his back leg to make it look like he is going to pick off to first, but then goes to plate, that is balk. If pitcher comes set, but ball drops out his glove then balk. you can find balk videos from mlb highlights on youtube and will make way more sense. I had the same problem trying to understanding icing in nhl lol
As an O’s fan I just want to say “Thanks Buck!”. Wish you were coming back to manage this group of prospects that you, Dan and Mike have accumulated when it’s their time! Best of luck to you in all you do!
Maybe if the lineup that was supposed to mash had done their jobs it wouldn't have gotten to that point. But let's blame Buck for not having a bullpen to compete with.
1:15 - What Buck is trying to say is if any portion of the baseball hits the side of the fair pole that faces foul territory, it's still a fair ball home run. A baseball is 74 mm (2.91") in diameter, so this rare situation requires less than 1" of the ball to hover over fair territory.
Honestly, though, as an Orioles fan, it didn't matter. They weren't winning that game. If Britton pitched the 10th, they just would've lost in the 11th. If he pitched 2 innings, they would've lost in the 12th. Better to just rip off the Band-Aid and get it over with.
Runners on first and second, hit and run with the runners not really paying attention, pop up around second base, Infield Fly (batter is out) runner from first passes the runner on second (Runner from first is out), ball lands on runner from second (that runner is out).
I would like to see the first one just to see it for myself if he was getting stuff wrong since I usually check the rules and if it involves specific parks then I check their ground rules since it’s always good to know that ground rules could be different in various parks
He did not get all of them right. He was wrong about having to come out of the dugout to throw the ball. Once a fielder makes a catch and enters dead ball territory (the dugout), the ball is dead and all runners are awarded one base. Nothing else can happen.
Thank you Buck for discussing the rules with your players. In my 40 years as an umpire at all levels, even the best most successful coaches do not know the rules. It might be just the edge you need in a close game to pull out a win IF you know the rules?
Learned a great baseball insight from Buck years ago when he was calling games for ESPN: the first pitch on a 3-2 count has the highest rate of foul balls of any pitch thrown. Now that you know, watch for it.
Knew very little about Buck other then when he manage other teams until he became the manager of the Mets I knew who he was I knew he knew his stuff when he came to the game I am a diehard Mets Fan And I never really understood why everybody loved him as a manager and why everybody wanted him as the manager he’s been in the Mets manager for a year and some change and I am super Duper impressed as a New York Mets fan the man knows the game and he knows this game very well 😊
Man itd be hilarious if someone threw schowalter a beer during this segment, shotgunned the beer, then threw it at the camera man and told the camera man to ‘f off’ along with other profanity. Man I hope that happens one day.
Congrats COACH BUCK SHOWALTERS THANK YOU METS TEAM OWNER STEVE COHEN FOR HIRING COACH BUCK LET'S GO METS MLB WORLD SERIES CHAMPS NOV 2022 NEW YORK METS
Yep, I definitely branded Machado as a dingleberry when it comes to sliding into other players. Sadly, I hope someone as dirty as him slides into him. 🥲
Crazy rules like how it's acceptable to make the umps finger the opposing pitcher's ears when you're down six in the desperate hopes it'll get in his head? That kind of crazy rule?
If the catcher is between you and home plate, and leaves you no path to reach home plate, you are free to run the catcher over. The rules are different now, the catcher can only block the plate if they have the ball, or trying to field the ball. The catcher and runner must make a good faith attempt to avoid a collision. If the runner crashes into the catcher on purpose, the runner is ruled out.
Correct. Once a fielder catches the ball and enters dead ball territory, the ball is dead, all runners advance 90 feet. The fielder CANNOT reenter live ball territory and make a play. Buck was wrong on that one.
I’ve always wondered why they don’t use a square ball. That would make the game so much better. A football-shaped ball would be cool too. Ground balls would be interesting.
the baserunner has the right of way to run in a straight line to the next base. If a fielder is standing in the way, the runner is free to run them over. If the fielder has the ball and is attempting to tag you, you are free to slide into them to avoid the tag. There is no rule that says you must come to a complete stop and let the fielder tag you easily standing up
he's wrong, you can "leave your feet" to make a catch in the dugout, and its legal, you cannot make a catch with any part of your body or feet touching inside the dugout (out of play area)
I don't believe that is the rule. It may have been at one time because I remember hearing it many years ago. Once a player makes a catch and enters dead ball territory, the ball is dead and remains dead. All runners get one base.
That infield fly call was correct. You don't know the rule so don't try to tell us an infield fly cannot be caught in the outfield. You are totally wrong.
If it is judged that an infielder could catch the ball with ordinary effort it would be an infield fly even if he caught it on the warning track in dead centerfield.
Well, that's two of these videos and two rulings he's gotten wrong. The answer to this one was in the same place as the other one too (6.01 b). Straight from the MLB rule book under "Fielder Right of Way": The players, coaches or any member of a team at bat shall vacate any space (including both dugouts or bullpens) needed by a fielder who is attempting to field a batted or thrown ball. If a member of the team at bat (other than a runner) hinders a fielder’s attempt to catch or field a batted ball, the ball is dead, the batter is declared out and all runners return to the bases occupied at the time of the pitch.
Read the rule again, because you're wrong. "a fielder who is attempting to field a batted or thrown ball" He was doing neither. He had already fielded it and was attempting to tag the runner.
@@Subangelis Try paying attention to the whole video. 1:55 starts a whole section about a foul ball toward the dugout. And at 2:40 he goes specifically into how he'd tell his players to make sure they stay on the rail and make it more difficult for the fielder trying to catch the ball at the dugout.
He also got the rule wrong about leaving your feet near the dugout: There are two rules involved, one regarding where you can legally make a catch, and one involving the advancement of the runners. [From the 2019 Official Baseball Rules: "Rule 5.09(a)(1) Comment: A fielder may reach into, but not step into, a dugout to make a catch, and if he holds the ball, the catch shall be allowed. A fielder, in order to make a catch on a foul ball nearing a dugout or other out-of-play area (such as the stands), must have one or both feet on or over the playing surface (including the lip of the dugout) and neither foot on the ground inside the dugout or in any other out-of-play area. Ball is in play, unless the fielder, after making a legal catch, steps or falls into a dugout or other out-of-play area, in which case the ball is dead. Status of runners shall be as described in Rule 5.06(b)(3)(C) Comment." We have also from Rule 5.09(a)(1) that "[i]f a fielder, attempting a catch at the edge of the dugout, is 'held up' and kept from an apparent fall by a player or players of either team and the catch is made, it shall be allowed." That makes clear that being held up at the dugout fence (and not falling) is not the same as a fall. "Rule 5.06(b)(3)(C) Comment: If a fielder, after having made a legal catch, should step or fall into any out-of-play area, the ball is dead and each runner shall advance one base, without liability to be put out, from his last legally touched base at the time the fielder entered such out-of-play area." So you can leave your feet and not have the runners advance, as long as you don't step or literally fall into the dugout. And being held up to prevent a fall does not mean that you fell.
The leave your feet rule is old and doesn’t exist anymore. Once you are out of play it’s a free base even if you stay up. Also yes machado was dirty and illegal in that play. The rules state the runner has to actively avoid the fielder. Also purposefully sliding into a player to break up a play is illegal.
Ready for the most random stat ever?...Buck Showalter teams go to and/or Win the WS within 4 years of him leaving the team... NYY - 1992-95...hes fired the Yanks win WS in 1996 Arizona - 1998-2000...he leaves D'backs win WS in 2001 Texas - 2003-2006...he leaves then Rangers go to WS in 2009 Baltimore - 2010-18...he left...?
It’s not just a Catcher rule though it applies to fielders with their hats as well basically it’s to prevent them from catching balls with equipment other than hands and gloves but I thought it only applies to catching them and not touching them but I would have to check this out when I get the time to go through the rules just to verify copied and pasted directly from the rules as posted by the MLB site which I'd directly link to but the CZcams systems would automatically moderate my comment "Rule 5.06(b)(3) to 5.06(b)(4) (E) A fielder deliberately touches a pitched ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play, and the award is made from the position of the runner at the time the ball was touched" and the reward would be 1 base.
Even if that play was “legal” Machado is still a dirty player that ended Pedroia’s career. He’s the new A-Rod (except I actually kind of like A-Rod now that he’s no longer a Yankee)
Buck is the man!!!! Literally an angel sent down from the baseball heavens and is now managing my New York Metropolitans. Extremely thankful for this man.

Showalter is a Manager Legend. He's the perfect mix old and new school.
Totally. I’d bet White Sox players and fans would be a lot happier with Buck as their manager rather than TLR.
I would love to hear Buck tell every story he has
As an O’s fan I just want to say “Thanks Buck!”. Wish you were coming back to manage this group of prospects that you, Dan and Mike have accumulated when it’s their time! Best of luck to you in all you do!
I love Buck! Even though he shouldn't have put ubaldo Jimenez in
True
I still think about that substitution every now and then... 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
As a Blue Jays fan, I LOVED it. 😁
Maybe if the lineup that was supposed to mash had done their jobs it wouldn't have gotten to that point. But let's blame Buck for not having a bullpen to compete with.
These segments with Buck are the best!
We need more Buck content.
Agreed
Gotta love Buck pointing out that JJ Hardy-who also played for him-didn’t get flak for doing what Manny Machado did. Buck knows what’s up.

No shit
Still wondering why he didn't bring in Britton
He was saving him for the next season

Buck is such a great manager. He just knows so much about baseball
I love Buck. Loved him with the Rangers for a few years. Glad he’s back in the game.
Buck is always amazing. Brilliant baseball mind and really loves and respects the game.
Woah woah woah buck a triple play that never touched leather needs to be elaborated on. You don’t just drop a bomb like that and leave it

@@Cryolemon yup you basically summed it up but it's the batted ball hitting the runner that rules him out for the 3rd out if I understand things right
If the ball lands on one of the runners, wouldn't that not be an out due to the infield fly rule already having been called?
As a Met fan, I'm so happy he's our manager! 👍
Buck needs his own segment on MLB Network! Teach the young guys some things and to "toughen up".
It was great buck.. love u man
The next manager for the New York Mets.
☺️⚾️
Bucks a great sports personality. Mental note. Very entertaining clip.
love this guy
Second rule review I have seen with Buck. Congratulations he got all these right. First rule review he was guessing and got most of the rules wrong!

Learned a great baseball insight from Buck years ago when he was calling games for ESPN: the first pitch on a 3-2 count has the highest rate of foul balls of any pitch thrown. Now that you know, watch for it.
It also has the highest rate of hits with 3 balls, probably, or strikeouts with 3 balls, or walks with 2 strikes, I bet.
So happy he's the Met's manager! Got so many weird plays overturned this year because of this knowledge!
Woah, Buck mentioned Oneonta ny. My little home town. Used to have single A Yankees then Tigers

Manny Machado is infamous in Boston for ending Dustin Pedroia's career with that slide.
Yep, I definitely branded Machado as a dingleberry when it comes to sliding into other players.
Sadly, I hope someone as dirty as him slides into him. 🥲
Crazy rules like how it's acceptable to make the umps finger the opposing pitcher's ears when you're down six in the desperate hopes it'll get in his head?
That kind of crazy rule?
What's his stance on Pete Rose taking out Ray Fosse?
If the catcher is between you and home plate, and leaves you no path to reach home plate, you are free to run the catcher over.
The rules are different now, the catcher can only block the plate if they have the ball, or trying to field the ball. The catcher and runner must make a good faith attempt to avoid a collision. If the runner crashes into the catcher on purpose, the runner is ruled out.
"Leave his feet" is the old rule. Any time you catch and carry, it's a dead ball and everyone gets a base.
That’s why I come to the comments because this is where all the experts reside.
@@jasonwilliams4159 Be careful, shockingly there are also a few non-experts who reside here in the comments
@@SomeSortOfLandCow That’s impossible.
Correct. Once a fielder catches the ball and enters dead ball territory, the ball is dead, all runners advance 90 feet. The fielder CANNOT reenter live ball territory and make a play. Buck was wrong on that one.
Sooo smart
welcome to the mets buck
I want to know more about this triple play without touching leather
Curt Casali clearly missed this episode
Next Mets manager.
with a round ball, its easy to envision part of ball over top of the foul line, but not actually touching the chalk, if the ball was square, then no.
I’ve always wondered why they don’t use a square ball. That would make the game so much better. A football-shaped ball would be cool too. Ground balls would be interesting.
@@chriswebster24 Hitting would be challenging.
Mets hire him now!
what i would give to be able to see baseball guys actually be able to talk about baseball freely, and not have to constantly self censor
Welcome to the Mets Buck!
Does anyone know if Buck would be interested in managing again? If he is, it’s crazy to me that he doesn’t have a job.
Yes, he was signed by the New York Mets.
Who are the two guys with Buck in this vid?
Jim Thome is one but that’s all I can answer
Someone, please, hire this man. Arizona, bring him back.
How is a catchers mask like a rake? It’s their equipment…
it must be properly worn. To take it off and rake the ball is illegal.
Same with using fielders cap's and balls going inside shirts, they don't count as a catch. Only the hand and glove are allowed.
I dont understand what the explanation was for the last base running example.
@Kevin L thanks, that explains to me also what their discussion around the ethics of sliding and whether it be a dirty play or not.
the baserunner has the right of way to run in a straight line to the next base. If a fielder is standing in the way, the runner is free to run them over. If the fielder has the ball and is attempting to tag you, you are free to slide into them to avoid the tag. There is no rule that says you must come to a complete stop and let the fielder tag you easily standing up
@@cyclopsvision6370 Cool thanks, I got it all now.
@@corsel6911 It would have been dirty if he spiked the guy but I don't see any issues with what Manny did in that situation.
No more coffee for the person in the middle please
I wish they'd shown the entire clip with Manny Machado. Was he safe or out? The second baseman never tagged him.
he's wrong, you can "leave your feet" to make a catch in the dugout, and its legal, you cannot make a catch with any part of your body or feet touching inside the dugout (out of play area)
The feet must be on or over live ball territory when the catch is made.
The Mets finally got a true skipper after a good time.
How did this guy never get to a World Series?
G.O.A.T.
Got none of that towards the end. Need to teach these people how to set up first before flying into their "review"
Welcome to the NY Mets!!!!!! LFGM
this man needs to be protected at all costs
What happens if the ball is thrown into play from the dugout? Why did Machado not continue on to second? He was never tagged!
I don't believe that is the rule. It may have been at one time because I remember hearing it many years ago. Once a player makes a catch and enters dead ball territory, the ball is dead and remains dead. All runners get one base.
Did Machado ever actually get tagged out?
Buck should manage the Pirates because they clearly need to go back to fundamentals with the Javy Baez screw-up and Ke’Bryan Hayes non-homer.
On the baez screw up the first should just stepped on first or chases baez back to the plate.
@@ibraheemrao8434 My Orioles need Buck back

Does buck not know that Manny ended Pedroia's carear with a slide like that????
He'd probably say it's clean as well! "The spikes went into the meat of the leg , which makes it all right !"
I hate every slide involving Machado.
I wish Sam Holebrook knew what a infield fly rule is. I tell you it's not a ball that is caught in the outfield
That infield fly call was correct. You don't know the rule so don't try to tell us an infield fly cannot be caught in the outfield. You are totally wrong.

Catcher Rule Is BS
Catchers do it most often, but it actually applies to every defensive player.
That is one of the rules you don't know it existed until you see it. It also makes sense.
It’s not just a Catcher rule though it applies to fielders with their hats as well basically it’s to prevent them from catching balls with equipment other than hands and gloves but I thought it only applies to catching them and not touching them but I would have to check this out when I get the time to go through the rules just to verify
