I got called for the same thing when I was little. I slid into third and was clearly safe. I didn't call time and kind of rolled over to adjust my pants. My wooden legged coach rolled me back on the bag but I was called out for interference. I sucked at baseball but I sure did love it.
I recently just quit baseball and I also love it and will keep rooting for my mets it just wasn’t for me, I’m gonna keep playing football and running track tho💪🏼
A was 1st base coach and the runner at first just froze up when a grounder was hit. I gave him a little push towards 2nd. Nobody, including blue, noticed it, but to this day I feel bad. Well, sort of.
I love how the head coach stayed calm and shut down the parents .... calmly called his boys away from the noise and kneeled down to speak with his players ... coaches like that are special
Yes,I agree I love how the coach didn't get mad or nothing and just calmly took them and talked to them and from the video it didn't look like he yelled he was so calm and those are the good coaches
And the coaches on the other team who made the call for the umps are the worst. The umps, also kinda the worst. You simply can't let opposing coaches call players out for you. (Or worse, eject players for you, like certain MLB disgraces.)
@@Kurgosh1 STOP IT! ALL coaches and managers will point out rules infractions, ESPECIALLY if it's to their advantage. That opposing manager would have had to answer to his team's angry parents if they had lost. "RULES ARE RULES" I was a Little League home plate umpire for 6 years. I once took a legitimate home run away from a player because he didn't touch third base. I saw it, the third base coach saw it, the third baseman saw it, and the manager and coaches saw it. I even went down to third base to see his footprint to see if he maybe nicked the base. No even close. OMG!!! The kid is crying, the parents are screaming. After the game, one of those parents came to me in the umpire's locker room and apologized. One. Just one. A week later the director of umpires asked me what happened, etc. He said none of his other umpires would have called him out and that they "would have caved in to what the parents wanted." Later in the season, he told me I was the best umpire he had and he wanted me to come back for next season. This was the first of 6 seasons there. I loved it. Oh, I had no family or friend's kids in this league. I was just a volunteer.
@@imdeplorable2241 But _you_ saw the runner miss 3rd. _You_ called it. Not the opposing coach. That's a huge difference. What would you have done if you had been distracted when the runner went around 3rd, didn't see it, but the opposing coach claimed that the runner missed the bag? Would you have the integrity to admit that you didn't see it, or would you call him out on the word of somebody who is anything but impartial, and could easily be lying to you?
It was the right call by the umpire and it was even a better call by the coach to calm down the parents immediately. THAT is a clear example of how kids' sports coaches should be. Well done!
Bro the kids are like 10… tapping a 10 YEAR OLD player to get his attention on the field shouldnt end the game with an out & make those kids lose. This is learning & experience time for them. Sure the coach should be warned, but taking away playing time from kids all because these tiny PP coaches have nothing to live for but a winning record in LITTLE LEAGUE, is dumb. (Other coach calling it out) Thats probably that kids like 20th hit ever in his life & looked a little over excited & not paying attention & the coach thought he couldn’t hear him so he got close & barely touched him to get him to listen. Its really not that big of a deal in a f’ing LITTLE LEAGUE game 😂
Evan Masuga honestly like I’d understand the call in like a championship game or just in a more competitive league but like one out of the game left for little guys just let em keep going
Me too. But to be fair I’m guessing they were winning already. This was probably the last out in the last inning. Kids were probably rallying but that interference was the third out. So celebration by the other team is totally warranted here. The runner was going to 2nd. Coach actually SENT HIM then changed his mind and grabbed him. He likely would have been thrown out at 2nd had the coach not interfered. Other team earned it.
@@BigSkyCurmudgeon even if he was giving the player a Hi-Five, he did it while the ball was still in play which makes this a good call. The coach was wrong and I do give him credit for admitting his error and especially for gathering the players together and explaining to them what happened
As an Umpire, I have to commend the 1st Base Coach in red for his attempts to stop the parents on his team to continually hurl insults. It is unfortunate that the game ended this way, but the understanding and sportsmanship of this coach is awesome.
I believe the first base coach says he was giving him a high five so he lied about that. What I’d love to hear is one of the other coaches say you grabbed him and that’s the correct call. Then go to the parents and say calm down we made a mistake and the umpire was correct. How many articles are written about official shortages…it’s because of that kind of thing. I think they did an alright job here but it could have been better. Unfortunately most coaches are ignorant of the rules…and sadly too many umpires are as well.
@@gavingrossman808 Dude it looked like the coach told the kid to take 2, then realized left fielder had the ball and quickly grabbed the kids are to keep him from going. You can't do that. Don't touch the kid at all.
It’s funny in my 5 years as an umpire I’ve learned that parents love to yell and scream and give you the hardest time but clearly don’t know all of the technicalities of the game. he clearly touched the kid and yeah it is a crappy way to end it but the right call was made here 100%
Parents are always the worst. Props to the coaches for getting them under control. As for the call..... The umpires nailed it. To say it is "Low class" is a joke. What if the coach doesn't stop the runner? He is probably thrown out at 2nd base. Absolutely the right call.
You can clearly see the child was chopping his feet in an attempt to stop running to second. The coach did nothing to the stop except for telling him what to do. Which is what coaches are supposed to do. There isn’t clear evidence of him pulling the child back
From what I seen in the video, plus audio clues, 1st base coach was telling the kid to go 2 before he reached 1st base. About the time the kid made it to first and prepared to round like coach said, coach realised or seen a play could be made at 2nd so he grabbed the kids arm to prevent him from advancing, which is clearly a rules violation for interference.
@@thegarkshow9076 not sure what video you watched. The coach clearly grabbed the kids arm as he was rounding first base, and stopped him from going to second. The umpires made the correct call, runner is out at first, interference by the coach.
"Let the kids play"... Say the parents who think it's OK to mouth off to the other players, coaches & umpires. The call was correct. The coach tried to alter the play by putting his hands on the player to get him to stop. Grow up, people.
Honestly what makes the parents more sore losers were that most of them were on the FOUL GROUNDS even they saw it better but they just somehow didn't see it.
That was the right call don't get angry at umpires the coaches know the rule he got caught up in the action parents need to know the rules before they run their mouth
@Luke Skyballer I dislike people who hate rules , and I really dislike people who always have to bring up race into everything. So I dislike you . Guess we agree on something. ✌ loser!!!!
These idiots aren't concerned with the facts or rules. They are just butthurt because the other team won. Definitely give props to the coach that shut the parents down. And to the kid that screamed, "They fucking cheated." Had to have been the kid of the female KAREN screaming too.
Right call, but looked like neither ump noticed until the other coach said something. What if there was not actual interference and the ump just took the other coach's side since he essentially blindly trusted him? One could make that assumption based off this video, even though the correct call was made in the end.
yeah I wish these umpire were the ones calling the game a few years back when the Saints got away with not 1, but 2 late hit/roughing the QB penalties against the Vikings
@TheHound actually no they should idiot boy, you say man up??? based on what you say when would it not be ok to hit?? I can see it now, "the Albuquerque Donuts lost their starting QB for the year when the starting linebacker for the Provo Peanuts hit him while he was in the huddle calling the next play, the refs said it was a legal hit due to the idiotboy TheHounds changing of the rules" you are the textbook definition of a moron
Same exact thing happened to me when I played...I was rounding 2nd headed to 3rd and I stopped at 3rd...coach saw something I didn't and gave me a small push to run home...got across home plate and I was called out.
My favorite comment from parents, "let the kids play!" Blame the coach for grabbing him and inferring. I wish parents would read the book so they didn't sound so ignorant in these cases
Tylite Tony, If you knew the rules, you would know it is not illegal for the coach to touch a runner. It is illegal for a coach to assist a runner by physically touching him.
Dude thats clearly coaches interference he grabbed onto that runner which in the judgement of the umpire the coach interfered that's game. Hate to end a game on that note
Tom, clear as day but the coach, the guilty party, still raises his arms up in protest. maybe the coach should learn the rules vs putting his sunglasses on his cap, LOL
Then what about coaches that give the runner "high fives" while they're rounding the bases after hitting a home run? That touching the runner, isn't it? Besides, these are LITTLE LEAGUERS.... why do these umpires think they have to go all "Angel Fernandez" on these kids ??
Sorry, dude. It as the right call. Unfortunate, but if someone were to screw up the game for the rest of the team better a coach than laying the burden on one of the kids.
that's right, but the parents, who are whining while seated, now they want to blame the umpires for the "bad call". why don't the umpires scream at the 1st base coach who screwed up the game?
@@javtimestwo Umpires aren't gonna scream at ANYBODY! They know who has final say & they also know they aren't gonna win any popularity contests while doing that job so don't bother trying. Just call what you know to be a fair game & that's all you can do!
The coach told the kid to go to second then immediately grabbed him so he would stay at first. The ump was correct and the coach lying by saying "I was only giving him high fives" is crap
It was deceptive, but in court it could be interpreted as a true statement, if he follows up saying "Oh, I thought the umpire was calling him out for the high-five, I didn't know the umpire was talking about me grabbing him before that." But yeah he was intentionally misleading everyone from what he said.
Man these are the kind of coaches we all want our kids playing for. The umpires made the correct call (even tho I don't believe they saw it). Great job coaches 👏 hats off to you guys
Most cases umpires will try to ignore those Ticky tack calls in hopes of letting the kids play it out. If the opposing coach never says anything they wouldn’t have called him out.
100% correct call by the ump and good job by the coach for realizing he screwed up and not arguing with the umpire. Shame on all those parents for sounding like idiots and not knowing the rules
@@masonray8275 You have to follow the rules bud. Otherwise someone could take your argument further and try that logic on a different rule. It is for fun but it's also a competitive sport with rules everyone must follow.
Yep, coach knew exactly what he was doing. Coach if you ever read this I respect you the way you owned it and took responsibility. Calmed down the parents and handled it like a man. Very rare to see these days.
Very important at your early days of coaching, to pretend there’s a plexiglass between you and runners. I learned just like this coach did a couple years back. It was the right call unfortunately
Rules are rules. A touch alone is not interference. But the 1st base coach does grab the arm to assist the runner in stopping to stay at 1st base. It is the right call. As for the whining from the parents. Get over it. Your little MLB Star in the making who will likely never get close to MLB isn't hurt and just learned that even coaches make mistakes that sometimes don't work out for you. Hats off to the coach that turned to the parents to tell them to stop. That is a guy that "get's it".
Please explain why you think it is a bad call. You see the coach in the video physically assist the runner to not attempt to advance another base. By rule, that is coaches interference and the runner is out. Sooooooo....how is it a bad call?
Reminds me of when I played soccer. My dad was the coach, and I remember playing in a finals match for our rec league. Some of the parents got so unruly, and one literally threatened a kid. The ref kicked a couple parents out of the game(weren’t allowed on the sidelines until the game was over), and I think threatened to call the game at one point if there was more interference. It was awful.
Had a very similar thing happen to me when I was a kid. Hit a bomb to deep left and I was determined to run an inside-the-park homer. As I was rounding third they threw the ball into the shortstop and my coach tried to grab me, but I ran right through him. Ended up sliding home safe but was called out at third for interference. Unlike this coach, mine blamed it on me and said I should’ve listened to him. These kids should appreciate this guy, he clearly cares for them and wants them to love the game of baseball
It's a shame your coach didn't have better judgment of the progress of the play and trust your ability, and really in that situation he should have been out of the way giving you the wave around, yelling encouragement: you can do it, go go go! Whether you made it or not (( inevitably you did )) those chances rarely happen and congratulations on Making IT!!! It's something you will probably remember for the rest of your life. Well you did. LOL.
you are being unreasonable. rules are rules. these kids can learn the rules that much for by examples like this. examples of when the coach breaks the rules at the expense of the kids. so you are saying they should be soft on the kids, but not that soft. um, how then how soft? a little softer or is that too soft? c'mon, get a grip on reality amigo. you have no leg to stand on here. you cannot have it both ways. i don't care if the kids are 6 or 16. the coach messed up and he should apologize to the parents and the kids and the umpire
omg you have to be a troll because this is getting absurd. oh yes, i would not mind if the kids first game or championship game ended like this because each example can be used as a learning experience. in this case, the coach, the 1st base coach is the example. so go count your participation trophies ok. i know you have many of those. go ahead and make up the rules as you go, this is you, "um umpire, i know the batter hit the ball over the fence for a game winning home run, but you see this is my kids first game and we can't end the game this way. so can you call the hitter out for hitting the ball to far?. thank you". MORON!
ty-get over it. you have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the rules do not apply to your or your teams or your kids or you or anybody associated with you. move on. turn the page. take a walk. get lost. something, anything besides polluting this video with your absurd comments
Great job handling the situation and being professional to the coaches of this team that took the loss. Sometimes we parents get too into the game. We got to remember that it's a game and all the kids playing it won't enjoy it if we go crazy. Let them enjoy it.
"You're really gonna end the game like that?" Means "it's not ending how I want"... and "let the kids play" really means "except if my coach physically moves them to where they should be, and my team only"
Great learning moment for the kids for several things: you don’t always win and it’s not always fair, stay calm it’s only a game, remember someone is always watching you to make a mistake and call you out on it especially in todays world
Having been a coach AND an umpire, I see both sides. The coach got excited and had a brain cramp. As an umpire, you hate to end a game like THAT, but rules are rules. The parents need to know the rules just as much as the players, coaches and umpires. This was a coachable lesson for everyone.
idk about you guys, but omg the respect i have for their coach. keeping his players and the parents cool like that. honestly amazing compared to how we see parents and coaches act at that level.
Very impressive Coach showing an excellent example of how to handle the situation in front of children. Life isn't always fair! It's up to you to react appropriately!
Not cheap at all. It's an absolute rule. You grab a runner, he is out. Coach made a mistake but handled it well at the end.... probably because he knew it was on him. I've seen this many times. It's just a learning lesson for the coach not to get to excited.
Yea and I think he grabbed the boy without really realizing what he was doing in heat of the second.. But at least he was responsible enough to accept it and not act like an ass about his own mistake
Are those parents are pathetic. Some of my fondest memories of playing sports came from when my friends and I all played together on our own terms. No league or organization with coaches and parent spectators. Let the kids play without any of the parents and I can almost guarantee they'll have more fun.
If you're going to coach LL, please have an umpire/coach/parent meeting pre season! I found that having these meetings will help in the understanding of LL rules and also show whom of the coaches and parents are interested in participation! Continuation of these meetings throughout the season is also beneficial!!
I totally agree, as an umpire of little league baseball for the past 8 years I have come across many coaches/parents that just don’t understand the rules. In fact I was doing a game the other day where a parent was acting as the first base coach for a team (I was umpiring first base) and kept telling the players to take normal leads despite me saying that they are not allowed to take their leads until the pitch crosses the plate. He was just like “what do you mean he’s leading too early?” Luckily he was eventually replaced with someone more competent before it became an issue in the game
While I agree with the idea. A meeting with the umpires/coach/parents wouldn't have made a difference here. Because unless that meeting is 8+ hours long. There is no way that you would discuss this rule. It's such an obscure rule, that with almost 30 years of experience from little league, to professional, I have never seen this play live. The only time that I have ever seen it, is here on CZcams a few times.
It is an obscure rule, but it is also not very difficult to explain. When this rule has come up during my time umpiring Little League (I would say about once or twice a year) the coaches involved in those plays were very understanding and I don't recall them ever doing it again, of course Little League is a revolving door of inexperienced coaches and players who don't know the rules very well so it doesn't stop coming up. I see this come up more often when I umpire the younger division (ages 7-9) and I'm pretty laid back and I would give the first offense a warning unless it's really bad. I cut them some slack because often times a ball would be hit to the outfield fence and runners would just freeze and stay on first/third and won't respond to the first/third base coaches yelling in their ears to tell them to keep running. So, I'm not going to call a young kid out who has never played baseball before because he didn't know what to do and the coach gave him a little nudge. Again, if I felt like it made a difference in a potential play on the base paths, then it's a different story. But when I umpire the older division (ages 10-12), I feel the coaches/players should know better and I call the runners out without warning.
I played for that same little league for the toc (tournament of champions), I still have the same jersey. I don't know the coach since I left that league a long time ago but basically if you won the league tournament then you would go to the toc and play for a chance to go to the little league world series. I understand the frustration, although it was a 100% fair call.
Coach clearly pointed for the batter-runner to go to second but when he started to second the coach reached out and grabbed him back to first. It was the right call but the other coach showed his lack of sportsmanship by going out to the plate umpire and telling him what to call. It the two umpires actually saw this happen they should have made the out call immediately.
as a fellow ball player I understand the frustration of the parents especially the part where that guy yells out (Let the kids play ! (0:40) but baseball is a competitive sport even if its little league but props to the coaches for setting the parents straight 10 out of 10 coaching
Kudos for the first base coach for acknowledging he screwed up and defending the umpire from the parents. And what is the deal with the kid running with the yellow flag? This is little league. It shouldn't be that big a deal.
@Puckman637 middle of the game i get that call 100%, but last play of the game idk. thats such a small rule u cant call me an idiot for not following the game. if these kids were 12 year olds (llws age) i would agree w u, but now were just teaching kids that bitching to umps work
Yea i heard that to. I know the coach was just in the heat of rhe moment and its unfortunate it made it the last out of the game but rules are rules its not the umps fault that was rhe finale play
@@usa-wr9ju yea but if the kid eas to keep running they could have got the out at second. Doesn't matter what time of the game it is, its still a rule.
We had this happen once. Other team's coach was literally pushing them to run when they'd stop at first. Several times. We brought it up to refs attention and they gave them a warning. It didn't happen again. People would say "hey, that's the way it's supposed to be." BUT - all the coaches were warned before the games that the rule was in tact (the league played it loose the first half of season because the kids were young, but rules were "encouraged"). We ended up tying the game, but if they hadn't been pushed to run, some of those kids wouldn't have made it home. "Let the kids play" is fine. But, what about the kids on the other team who are at a disadvantage when a coach is interfering and the other coaches aren't?
Well the coach messed up. He puts a lot of time in to teach kids the sport and to be a good sport. Thank you coach for owning up to the mistake and giving us all a lesson in sportsmanship.
I always like the "let'em play" parent, which is normally the same parent that rides the umpire the entire game and generally the parent that has zero clue.
Great job by the head coach keeping his cool and calming everyone. Bad job by home plate umpire. If he initially saw the infraction he should have called it on his own. Instead, he was influenced by the other team's coach and then made the call after the fact.
It's interference, yes. If the umpire calls it because the other coach is bringing it to his attention, but he didn't see it himself, it's the wrong call. You can't call an infraction you didn't see. I umpired for about 12 years once upon a time, and my response to the yellow coach has to be, "I don't doubt you, coach (although I would have used his name, because I'd have known him). But I can't call something like that if I didn't actually see it myself." And I would also tell him, "If I missed it, I'm sorry, but I can't give you that out."
Well at least half the feild will learn what sportsmanship looks like.. These days everyone gets a trophy and it's ok to cuss the coach out. Especially if he's your dad that normally let's you start😂
The sad part is that the coach didn't really mean to do it. It was one of those things that happened in the moment and he probably realized inside of a second he screwed up. But it's the right call
The umpire is not only "serious" he is correct. A coach can NOT touch a runner while the ball is in play. The first base coach stopped the runner from going on to second base. The runner is out.
In most rule books it’s not about touching the runner but assisting them by touching them. High fives and such are generally legal, but pulling back to the bag like this is clearly not.
@@justins8802 100% correct. If you see an umpire call a kid out on a home run because of a high five, the umpire is wrong (and it happens too often.) This was not that. This was physically assisting the runner, which is an out.
@@gil4321 yep, happened to my niece in a varsity high school softball game. Simple high five to the runner right before she touched the plate. Took away the tying run and gave them the third out. They went on to lose the game by that one run. Awful.
@@justins8802 A lot of states don't allow protests for regular season games, but if they did, this would be one to play under protest. If not, the coach should at least make a report to the assigner or the state. Otherwise, the umpire will keep on making that incorrect call. (Unless the play happened very recently, it's too late to do anything about it. But for future reference...)
@@gil4321 On a HR the ball is typically out of play by the time the kid gets to first. I never once, in decades of baseball, seen a kid get hi fived on an HR still in the air. The coach would be watching the ball just like anyone else and would have to be right next to the plate anyway.
Although the right call, the problem I have is that the ump wasn’t going to call anything until the other coach told him what happened. Not sure the ump actually saw it.
It's horrible the game ended that way but it was the right call. You can see the coach grabbed the kid by the arm to keep him at first (watch it slowly and you can see the arm being held back). Not only that but the coach actually stepped over the baseline and on to the field to stop him. It was all on the coach since you can see he was telling the runner to go to 2nd then needed him to stop because the ball was coming in fast. If the batter had gone, like he was told, good chance he's either out at 2nd or caught in a rundown.
Coaches interference, all the way! An offensive player or coach cannot physically assist a runner. The issue here was the delay of the plate ump in calling the out. If the plate ump didn't see it, then he shouldn't call the out. But he saw it, and he knew it would end the game. If the opposing coaches didn't challenge it, he would have ignored it. Coach knew it was the right call!
This was a close call at that age group. Everyone should remember that the rules of baseball are written for pro ball. I was an umpire and called over 3,000 games of all kinds from LL thru college. The way we call the game differs at every level. Were it not for the coach pointing to second base in an attempt to get the runner focused on advancing and then reaching out to check his progress, I am not making the interference call at this age group. It must be remembered that merely touching a runner is not considered interference. The touching must be meant to assist them in advancing or returning to the base. I've had many instances where a 3B coach is standing in the wrong place as a runner rounds third and has to do a bullfighter move to get out of the way, makes contact, and actually puts his own runner at a disadvantage. There was no intent and the contact was a disadvantage. There was no call to be made. i will say that in this case, the call had to be made and the coaches handled it properly.
Great job by head coach for calming parents down, shows what a real coach should be. I agree it was a crappy way to end but was obviously the correct call he was clearly out of the first base coaches box.
@@markpounders1107 It was his call, I guarantee you he saw it, he just didn't want to make it. Look at his body language, you know he hated doing that. The only reason he made it was due to the other coach pointing it out, then he HAD to make it if he saw it. He would've said, "Coach, I didn't see him grab him", if he hadn't seen it, unless he has no ethics.
The coach might be for different teams, that might be normal in the other games and he got caught up in the moment.. I've seen video of grownups running with kids rounding bases.. Maybe this was a World Series game with millions bet on it and they needed this expert umpire to call it.. Maybe?? If it was a bunch of skid marked little kids, you might want to bend a little.
Thomas Broking no bending. Clear violation. If he doesn’t know it, he doesn’t belong coaching bases. Bottom line. Those kids should’ve had the tying run at the plate with 2 outs. Their base coach blew it big time. First by telling the kid to go 2, then by grabbing him to stop him. Probably just a parent who has no experience coaching bases. If he did, he’d of told the kid to round it, instead of go 2. But since he already sent him, he had to grab him to prevent the final out at 2. This is exactly why the rule is in place... in all leagues at that age level. The rule may be verbalized differently in each book, but this clearly violates all of them. Coach knew what he did. That’s why he quickly pretends like he’s just telling the kid good job, and then later in video lies about it... teaching the kids it’s ok to lie when you’re in a competition. Not verbally, but by his actions.
That was a weak ass call at that level. We aren’t playing for million dollar contracts here, let them play the damn game. Sure it sucks to lose a game, but it’s worse to win a game with a silly ass call like that.
Great job, Coach. Never complaining, calming the unruly parents, distancing his players away from the nonsense to debrief. That could have easily escalated into a bad situation, but instead he remembered his job as a role model.
Rules are rules and kids need to learn that and the upset parents should already know that he did not simply touch the runner he grabbed his arm and pulled him back to first definitely coaches interference and automatic out
I got called for the same thing when I was little. I slid into third and was clearly safe. I didn't call time and kind of rolled over to adjust my pants. My wooden legged coach rolled me back on the bag but I was called out for interference. I sucked at baseball but I sure did love it.
“I sucked at baseball but I sure did love it.”
Beautiful. Really.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your story about your coach too. Times flies.
I recently just quit baseball and I also love it and will keep rooting for my mets it just wasn’t for me, I’m gonna keep playing football and running track tho💪🏼
Well you didn’t get called for it your coach got called for it. Likewise you can’t call time. You can request time. Only the umpires can call time.

"RULES ARE RULES"
I was a Little League home plate umpire for 6 years. I once took a legitimate home run away from a player because he didn't touch third base. I saw it, the third base coach saw it, the third baseman saw it, and the manager and coaches saw it. I even went down to third base to see his footprint to see if he maybe nicked the base. No even close. OMG!!! The kid is crying, the parents are screaming. After the game, one of those parents came to me in the umpire's locker room and apologized. One. Just one. A week later the director of umpires asked me what happened, etc. He said none of his other umpires would have called him out and that they "would have caved in to what the parents wanted." Later in the season, he told me I was the best umpire he had and he wanted me to come back for next season. This was the first of 6 seasons there. I loved it. Oh, I had no family or friend's kids in this league. I was just a volunteer.
@@imdeplorable2241 But _you_ saw the runner miss 3rd. _You_ called it. Not the opposing coach. That's a huge difference. What would you have done if you had been distracted when the runner went around 3rd, didn't see it, but the opposing coach claimed that the runner missed the bag? Would you have the integrity to admit that you didn't see it, or would you call him out on the word of somebody who is anything but impartial, and could easily be lying to you?
It was the right call by the umpire and it was even a better call by the coach to calm down the parents immediately. THAT is a clear example of how kids' sports coaches should be. Well done!
It was not the right call there was more footage at a better angle and it showed he did not pull him and the kid stopped on his own
@@subtofadeo I would like to see a link to that?
no... this umpire stayed up all night reading his rule book ... POOR CALL. you don't end a game like THAT
Bro the kids are like 10… tapping a 10 YEAR OLD player to get his attention on the field shouldnt end the game with an out & make those kids lose. This is learning & experience time for them. Sure the coach should be warned, but taking away playing time from kids all because these tiny PP coaches have nothing to live for but a winning record in LITTLE LEAGUE, is dumb. (Other coach calling it out)
Thats probably that kids like 20th hit ever in his life & looked a little over excited & not paying attention & the coach thought he couldn’t hear him so he got close & barely touched him to get him to listen. Its really not that big of a deal in a f’ing LITTLE LEAGUE game 😂
He grabbed his arm to stop his run to second. It’s very clear
Know the rules and keep your mitts off the runners. It is interference.
Fax
But these kids look like there seven it's still bullshit I think the runner was stopping anyways
Evan Masuga honestly like I’d understand the call in like a championship game or just in a more competitive league but like one out of the game left for little guys just let em keep going
@@patrickhovard6322 the description says it was an all stars championship game
I am an umpire and even though I understand where the parents are coming from, thats the right call.
Same here Thomas. I actually had to call a runner out tonight at 3rd base tonight to end the inning (and OF COURSE) it was a rally.
It is the right call, but it appears the opposing teams coach made the call, not the umpire.
@20piece_Mcnuggets Doesn’t matter the age. The coach can not touch the player in an attempt to help advance or keep a player.
@@jefftickleschitz1265 the umpires tried to ingore it Til coach asked
@20piece_Mcnuggets Show me where in the rule book it says 8 year-olds can violate the rules.
“It’s cheating” yes. The coach grabbing the child’s arm was cheating ma’am
Them running a victory lap with the yellow flagged had me dying 😂
Me too. But to be fair I’m guessing they were winning already. This was probably the last out in the last inning. Kids were probably rallying but that interference was the third out. So celebration by the other team is totally warranted here. The runner was going to 2nd. Coach actually SENT HIM then changed his mind and grabbed him. He likely would have been thrown out at 2nd had the coach not interfered. Other team earned it.
They won, right?
"YEAH, WE'RE UP BY TWO RUNS IN THE 6TH INNING AND THE UMP ENDED THE GAME FOR NO REASON WOOOOOOOOOOO"
Good coach right there. Even with the screw up. Keep your cool. Accept your mistake. Move on. Great role model for those young players. Well done sir.
too bad the kids are only with the coach a couple hours per week for a few years...they have those parents forever.
I mean it’s his fault lol
did you not hear the coach say, I was giving him a high five". sorry coach you gave him a Hi 5 after you grabbed him to get back to the base
@@BigSkyCurmudgeon even if he was giving the player a Hi-Five, he did it while the ball was still in play which makes this a good call. The coach was wrong and I do give him credit for admitting his error and especially for gathering the players together and explaining to them what happened
As an Umpire, I have to commend the 1st Base Coach in red for his attempts to stop the parents on his team to continually hurl insults. It is unfortunate that the game ended this way, but the understanding and sportsmanship of this coach is awesome.
Think that is the head coach not the first base coach.
I believe the first base coach says he was giving him a high five so he lied about that. What I’d love to hear is one of the other coaches say you grabbed him and that’s the correct call. Then go to the parents and say calm down we made a mistake and the umpire was correct. How many articles are written about official shortages…it’s because of that kind of thing. I think they did an alright job here but it could have been better. Unfortunately most coaches are ignorant of the rules…and sadly too many umpires are as well.
@@Niel2760 And almost all of the parents. Especially the ones with the biggest mouths!
Geez why did he grab him??? It didn’t look like he was even gonna go. He was just taking the turn like he should
Coach tried to play it off like he was saying good job....
@@Downsouthroots no thay cheated.
@@Downsouthroots the coach didn't cheat. He did touch him but it was to give him 5.
@@gavingrossman808 you are blind he definitely grabbed the kid so he couldnt round to second base lol idiot
@@gavingrossman808 Dude it looked like the coach told the kid to take 2, then realized left fielder had the ball and quickly grabbed the kids are to keep him from going. You can't do that. Don't touch the kid at all.
He told him to go 2, then changes his mind and grabbed him... right call.
Correct call, good coach in controlling parents. Exactly as it should be all around
It’s funny in my 5 years as an umpire I’ve learned that parents love to yell and scream and give you the hardest time but clearly don’t know all of the technicalities of the game. he clearly touched the kid and yeah it is a crappy way to end it but the right call was made here 100%
Parents are always the worst. Props to the coaches for getting them under control. As for the call..... The umpires nailed it. To say it is "Low class" is a joke. What if the coach doesn't stop the runner? He is probably thrown out at 2nd base. Absolutely the right call.
You can clearly see the child was chopping his feet in an attempt to stop running to second. The coach did nothing to the stop except for telling him what to do. Which is what coaches are supposed to do. There isn’t clear evidence of him pulling the child back
From what I seen in the video, plus audio clues, 1st base coach was telling the kid to go 2 before he reached 1st base. About the time the kid made it to first and prepared to round like coach said, coach realised or seen a play could be made at 2nd so he grabbed the kids arm to prevent him from advancing, which is clearly a rules violation for interference.
@@thegarkshow9076 not sure what video you watched. The coach clearly grabbed the kids arm as he was rounding first base, and stopped him from going to second. The umpires made the correct call, runner is out at first, interference by the coach.
"Let the kids play"...
Say the parents who think it's OK to mouth off to the other players, coaches & umpires.
The call was correct. The coach tried to alter the play by putting his hands on the player to get him to stop. Grow up, people.
I like the part where the coach was trying to imply...I was just telling him good job!!! LOL
@@Downsouthroots gotta try to sell it right?!
Honestly what makes the parents more sore losers were that most of them were on the FOUL GROUNDS even they saw it better but they just somehow didn't see it.
Rules are rules
PARENTS
SHUT UP, and be an example to your children.
That was the right call don't get angry at umpires the coaches know the rule he got caught up in the action parents need to know the rules before they run their mouth
Still through it’s a fucking kids league he wasnt even going second
@Luke Skyballer I dislike people who hate rules , and I really dislike people who always have to bring up race into everything. So I dislike you . Guess we agree on something.
✌ loser!!!!
These idiots aren't concerned with the facts or rules.
They are just butthurt because the other team won.
Definitely give props to the coach that shut the parents down.
And to the kid that screamed, "They fucking cheated." Had to have been the kid of the female KAREN screaming too.
@@mexicangod327 he was clearly going to 2nd ....And coach 100% knew he'd get wrung out !
The same parents yelling let them play would have been the ones pointing it out if the other coach had done it.
Right call, but looked like neither ump noticed until the other coach said something. What if there was not actual interference and the ump just took the other coach's side since he essentially blindly trusted him? One could make that assumption based off this video, even though the correct call was made in the end.
I wish these umpires were the ones calling the Saints game....
yeah I wish these umpire were the ones calling the game a few years back when the Saints got away with not 1, but 2 late hit/roughing the QB penalties against the Vikings
TheHound in that case the corner should just tackle the receiver everytime the ball is in the air? That would be a shitty game to watch
@TheHound actually no they should idiot boy, you say man up??? based on what you say when would it not be ok to hit?? I can see it now, "the Albuquerque Donuts lost their starting QB for the year when the starting linebacker for the Provo Peanuts hit him while he was in the huddle calling the next play, the refs said it was a legal hit due to the idiotboy TheHounds changing of the rules" you are the textbook definition of a moron
Nope I'm a rams fans I like the refs lol
TheHound no u your probs 5
A coach cannot physically touch a runner to get them to run or stop. It's the coaches fault and the parents for not knowing the rules.
You parents don't know the rules!?!? I'm shocked!!
Same exact thing happened to me when I played...I was rounding 2nd headed to 3rd and I stopped at 3rd...coach saw something I didn't and gave me a small push to run home...got across home plate and I was called out.
In this case did the interference end the game or just cause the final out (which ended the game)?
One of the dumbest rules made, when I played little leauge was rough as crap
jack jon shut up nerd ass
My favorite comment from parents, "let the kids play!" Blame the coach for grabbing him and inferring. I wish parents would read the book so they didn't sound so ignorant in these cases
"Should the umpire have ended the game or let the kids play?"
Better question: Should we teach the kids to ignore rules?
It's a judgment call. Did the coach pull the kid back to the base? Mere touching isn't necessarily physically assisting.
if u know the rules, the coaches arent allowed to touch the runners at all when ball is in play
Tylite Tony, If you knew the rules, you would know it is not illegal for the coach to touch a runner. It is illegal for a coach to assist a runner by physically touching him.
Dude thats clearly coaches interference he grabbed onto that runner which in the judgement of the umpire the coach interfered that's game. Hate to end a game on that note
Tom, clear as day but the coach, the guilty party, still raises his arms up in protest. maybe the coach should learn the rules vs putting his sunglasses on his cap, LOL
Alan Hess dude your a fucking idiot
Then what about coaches that give the runner "high fives" while they're rounding the bases after hitting a home run? That touching the runner, isn't it? Besides, these are LITTLE LEAGUERS.... why do these umpires think they have to go all "Angel Fernandez" on these kids ??
Sorry, dude. It as the right call. Unfortunate, but if someone were to screw up the game for the rest of the team better a coach than laying the burden on one of the kids.
that's right, but the parents, who are whining while seated, now they want to blame the umpires for the "bad call".
why don't the umpires scream at the 1st base coach who screwed up the game?
@@javtimestwo Umpires aren't gonna scream at ANYBODY! They know who has final say & they also know they aren't gonna win any popularity contests while doing that job so don't bother trying. Just call what you know to be a fair game & that's all you can do!
The coach told the kid to go to second then immediately grabbed him so he would stay at first. The ump was correct and the coach lying by saying "I was only giving him high fives" is crap
It was deceptive, but in court it could be interpreted as a true statement, if he follows up saying "Oh, I thought the umpire was calling him out for the high-five, I didn't know the umpire was talking about me grabbing him before that."
But yeah he was intentionally misleading everyone from what he said.
Could be true though, he never actually grabbed him, just hit his arm
Man these are the kind of coaches we all want our kids playing for. The umpires made the correct call (even tho I don't believe they saw it). Great job coaches 👏 hats off to you guys
The home plate umpire was looking right at first... How can you not see that 🤣🤣🤣
2 man crew, it's the HP umpire's job to oversee first in this situation.
Most cases umpires will try to ignore those Ticky tack calls in hopes of letting the kids play it out. If the opposing coach never says anything they wouldn’t have called him out.
Classy how the manager handled the parents. Wish more coaches were like that.
100% correct call by the ump and good job by the coach for realizing he screwed up and not arguing with the umpire. Shame on all those parents for sounding like idiots and not knowing the rules
Mason Ray he didn’t say shit about it being political, the guys right, if the runner isn’t stationary on the base the coach isn’t allowed to touch him
@@masonray8275 You have to follow the rules bud. Otherwise someone could take your argument further and try that logic on a different rule. It is for fun but it's also a competitive sport with rules everyone must follow.
Yep, coach knew exactly what he was doing. Coach if you ever read this I respect you the way you owned it and took responsibility. Calmed down the parents and handled it like a man. Very rare to see these days.
Very important at your early days of coaching, to pretend there’s a plexiglass between you and runners. I learned just like this coach did a couple years back. It was the right call unfortunately
Incredible that the ones who have the hardest time following the rules are the adults...
Rules are rules. A touch alone is not interference. But the 1st base coach does grab the arm to assist the runner in stopping to stay at 1st base. It is the right call. As for the whining from the parents. Get over it. Your little MLB Star in the making who will likely never get close to MLB isn't hurt and just learned that even coaches make mistakes that sometimes don't work out for you. Hats off to the coach that turned to the parents to tell them to stop. That is a guy that "get's it".
I disagree, bad call.
Please explain why you think it is a bad call. You see the coach in the video physically assist the runner to not attempt to advance another base. By rule, that is coaches interference and the runner is out. Sooooooo....how is it a bad call?
it is a the right call
The call is correct. It is not a call I would look to make as an official, but the call is correct.
not bad call he grab him to stop him you cannot assistant runners
Reminds me of when I played soccer. My dad was the coach, and I remember playing in a finals match for our rec league. Some of the parents got so unruly, and one literally threatened a kid. The ref kicked a couple parents out of the game(weren’t allowed on the sidelines until the game was over), and I think threatened to call the game at one point if there was more interference. It was awful.
Thanks for sharing. Parents can be unruly for sure.
I’m sorry you had to settle for playing soccer instead of something good.
@@donj.6572 .
Had a very similar thing happen to me when I was a kid. Hit a bomb to deep left and I was determined to run an inside-the-park homer. As I was rounding third they threw the ball into the shortstop and my coach tried to grab me, but I ran right through him. Ended up sliding home safe but was called out at third for interference. Unlike this coach, mine blamed it on me and said I should’ve listened to him. These kids should appreciate this guy, he clearly cares for them and wants them to love the game of baseball
It's a shame your coach didn't have better judgment of the progress of the play and trust your ability, and really in that situation he should have been out of the way giving you the wave around, yelling encouragement: you can do it, go go go! Whether you made it or not (( inevitably you did )) those chances rarely happen and congratulations on Making IT!!! It's something you will probably remember for the rest of your life. Well you did. LOL.
As an ump myself....100% right call
Ty-Rules are rules. If you don't like the rules, create your own game. call it ANARCHY and see how much fun you have, you dolt
you are being unreasonable. rules are rules. these kids can learn the rules that much for by examples like this. examples of when the coach breaks the rules at the expense of the kids.
so you are saying they should be soft on the kids, but not that soft. um, how then how soft? a little softer or is that too soft? c'mon, get a grip on reality amigo. you have no leg to stand on here. you cannot have it both ways. i don't care if the kids are 6 or 16. the coach messed up and he should apologize to the parents and the kids and the umpire
omg you have to be a troll because this is getting absurd. oh yes, i would not mind if the kids first game or championship game ended like this because each example can be used as a learning experience. in this case, the coach, the 1st base coach is the example.
so go count your participation trophies ok. i know you have many of those.
go ahead and make up the rules as you go, this is you, "um umpire, i know the batter hit the ball over the fence for a game winning home run, but you see this is my kids first game and we can't end the game this way. so can you call the hitter out for hitting the ball to far?. thank you". MORON!
ty-get over it. you have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the rules do not apply to your or your teams or your kids or you or anybody associated with you. move on. turn the page. take a walk. get lost. something, anything besides polluting this video with your absurd comments
Ty- What was I thinking! I had no idea you could break the rules so that a game didn't end like this. Is that a millenial thing?
Great job handling the situation and being professional to the coaches of this team that took the loss. Sometimes we parents get too into the game. We got to remember that it's a game and all the kids playing it won't enjoy it if we go crazy. Let them enjoy it.
"You're really gonna end the game like that?" Means "it's not ending how I want"... and "let the kids play" really means "except if my coach physically moves them to where they should be, and my team only"
Great learning moment for the kids for several things: you don’t always win and it’s not always fair, stay calm it’s only a game, remember someone is always watching you to make a mistake and call you out on it especially in todays world
Parents being a bunch of babies. The coach should know the rules. Low lifes then accuse the other team of cheating.
Having been a coach AND an umpire, I see both sides. The coach got excited and had a brain cramp. As an umpire, you hate to end a game like THAT, but rules are rules. The parents need to know the rules just as much as the players, coaches and umpires. This was a coachable lesson for everyone.
Even coachs get excited and mess up. Great job all the way around. Hats off to you for taking your time to help the kids out.
idk about you guys, but omg the respect i have for their coach. keeping his players and the parents cool like that. honestly amazing compared to how we see parents and coaches act at that level.
Very impressive Coach showing an excellent example of how to handle the situation in front of children.
Life isn't always fair! It's up to you to react appropriately!
That coach intentionally grabbed the runner. The call was right. Period. Not the kids fault but the coach knew better and did it anyway.
Ya, volunteer Dad Coach made mistake. It happens to the best of us.
Not cheap at all. It's an absolute rule. You grab a runner, he is out. Coach made a mistake but handled it well at the end.... probably because he knew it was on him. I've seen this many times. It's just a learning lesson for the coach not to get to excited.
I hate to see a game end like that but that's correct.
Yea and I think he grabbed the boy without really realizing what he was doing in heat of the second.. But at least he was responsible enough to accept it and not act like an ass about his own mistake
Are those parents are pathetic. Some of my fondest memories of playing sports came from when my friends and I all played together on our own terms. No league or organization with coaches and parent spectators. Let the kids play without any of the parents and I can almost guarantee they'll have more fun.
I coached first base and was always mindful to stay a healthy distance away. He was practically on top of the bag.
If you're going to coach LL, please have an umpire/coach/parent meeting pre season! I found that having these meetings will help in the understanding of LL rules and also show whom of the coaches and parents are interested in participation! Continuation of these meetings throughout the season is also beneficial!!
I totally agree, as an umpire of little league baseball for the past 8 years I have come across many coaches/parents that just don’t understand the rules. In fact I was doing a game the other day where a parent was acting as the first base coach for a team (I was umpiring first base) and kept telling the players to take normal leads despite me saying that they are not allowed to take their leads until the pitch crosses the plate. He was just like “what do you mean he’s leading too early?” Luckily he was eventually replaced with someone more competent before it became an issue in the game
While I agree with the idea. A meeting with the umpires/coach/parents wouldn't have made a difference here. Because unless that meeting is 8+ hours long. There is no way that you would discuss this rule. It's such an obscure rule, that with almost 30 years of experience from little league, to professional, I have never seen this play live. The only time that I have ever seen it, is here on CZcams a few times.
It is an obscure rule, but it is also not very difficult to explain. When this rule has come up during my time umpiring Little League (I would say about once or twice a year) the coaches involved in those plays were very understanding and I don't recall them ever doing it again, of course Little League is a revolving door of inexperienced coaches and players who don't know the rules very well so it doesn't stop coming up. I see this come up more often when I umpire the younger division (ages 7-9) and I'm pretty laid back and I would give the first offense a warning unless it's really bad. I cut them some slack because often times a ball would be hit to the outfield fence and runners would just freeze and stay on first/third and won't respond to the first/third base coaches yelling in their ears to tell them to keep running. So, I'm not going to call a young kid out who has never played baseball before because he didn't know what to do and the coach gave him a little nudge. Again, if I felt like it made a difference in a potential play on the base paths, then it's a different story. But when I umpire the older division (ages 10-12), I feel the coaches/players should know better and I call the runners out without warning.
Everybody is an Umpire all the sudden.. 110% Correct call but he clearly missed it and took the coaches word for it. That's a big NO-NO
disagree. i think he saw it and was going to let it go because it's a crappy way to end a game, but the opposing coach forced his hand.
The plate umpire saw it the base umpire didn't
@@Mike-uq9kb Then you say I didn't see it coach and watch for it.
I played for that same little league for the toc (tournament of champions), I still have the same jersey. I don't know the coach since I left that league a long time ago but basically if you won the league tournament then you would go to the toc and play for a chance to go to the little league world series. I understand the frustration, although it was a 100% fair call.
It’s hilarious the parents getting mad like that. I’m glad the other coach was trying to calm them down though. Clear call too.
"You're frickin cheating" lmao by playing by the rules
“That’s so ridiculous.” No, that’s the rules.
yea it is
Still pretty fuckin ridiculous
Doesn’t make it less ridiculous
The right call. Good on you coach for knowing you messed up. Parents, learn the game.
Coach clearly pointed for the batter-runner to go to second but when he started to second the coach reached out and grabbed him back to first. It was the right call but the other coach showed his lack of sportsmanship by going out to the plate umpire and telling him what to call. It the two umpires actually saw this happen they should have made the out call immediately.
Yep. Exactly!
Respect to the coach that quickly stopped the parents from making matters worse.
That's a good call
Classy COACH, we need more like him!!! You sir have my respect!!!
as a fellow ball player I understand the frustration of the parents especially the part where that guy yells out (Let the kids play ! (0:40) but baseball is a competitive sport even if its little league but props to the coaches for setting the parents straight 10 out of 10 coaching
Good call blue
Why the hell didn't the teams lineup and shake hands?
often times ive seen nowadays in youth sports, they line up and shake hands before the game rather than after. personally, i think its the right way.
This coach is one classy person,great example for those young players.
It is hard to blame the Ump, you can see the other team's coach in yellow walk up and press the matter. I hope he sees this and feels proud.
Thanks for watching and for your insight!
Kudos for the first base coach for acknowledging he screwed up and defending the umpire from the parents. And what is the deal with the kid running with the yellow flag? This is little league. It shouldn't be that big a deal.
I really wanted to throw it in the fire, because they seem to be waving it to rub the coaches mistake in the other teams face.
That was a different coach.
"That is so ridiculous" No that is so the rule.
ur super tight dude, these kids arent even 10 u idiot
u really got them there dude
@Puckman637 middle of the game i get that call 100%, but last play of the game idk. thats such a small rule u cant call me an idiot for not following the game. if these kids were 12 year olds (llws age) i would agree w u, but now were just teaching kids that bitching to umps work
Yea i heard that to. I know the coach was just in the heat of rhe moment and its unfortunate it made it the last out of the game but rules are rules its not the umps fault that was rhe finale play
@@usa-wr9ju yea but if the kid eas to keep running they could have got the out at second. Doesn't matter what time of the game it is, its still a rule.
It’s always the parents don’t know the rules of baseball to start arguing 😂
That coach handled things well I think any other coach would be heckling at the umpire
Coach messed up and told the parents to sit they asses back down. Respect!!!
Parents at home: hey honey I love and stuff ( being calm)
In the field: they freaking cheated
We had this happen once. Other team's coach was literally pushing them to run when they'd stop at first. Several times. We brought it up to refs attention and they gave them a warning. It didn't happen again. People would say "hey, that's the way it's supposed to be." BUT - all the coaches were warned before the games that the rule was in tact (the league played it loose the first half of season because the kids were young, but rules were "encouraged"). We ended up tying the game, but if they hadn't been pushed to run, some of those kids wouldn't have made it home.
"Let the kids play" is fine. But, what about the kids on the other team who are at a disadvantage when a coach is interfering and the other coaches aren't?
Well the coach messed up. He puts a lot of time in to teach kids the sport and to be a good sport. Thank you coach for owning up to the mistake and giving us all a lesson in sportsmanship.
That was terrible umpiring, I guess he called coach interference because when the coach told him to get back the coach told.
Thanks for watching and commenting Brandon.
Definitely interference!! Coach can tell the runner what to do, but , he actually grabbed him to hold at first!
why are you yelling?
I always like the "let'em play" parent, which is normally the same parent that rides the umpire the entire game and generally the parent that has zero clue.
That coach learned something he didnt know. They kept cool too. Right call. Well-mannered, that is maturity.
Thanks for watching and for commenting
Great job by the head coach keeping his cool and calming everyone. Bad job by home plate umpire. If he initially saw the infraction he should have called it on his own. Instead, he was influenced by the other team's coach and then made the call after the fact.
Yea if he punched him out like a man no one could complain at anyone but the base coach
Had same thing happen to my team great learning situation to all coaches . End of the day just baseball great game but nothing to fight over !!
This game will probably haunt these little dudes.
It's interference, yes. If the umpire calls it because the other coach is bringing it to his attention, but he didn't see it himself, it's the wrong call. You can't call an infraction you didn't see. I umpired for about 12 years once upon a time, and my response to the yellow coach has to be, "I don't doubt you, coach (although I would have used his name, because I'd have known him). But I can't call something like that if I didn't actually see it myself." And I would also tell him, "If I missed it, I'm sorry, but I can't give you that out."
Well at least half the feild will learn what sportsmanship looks like.. These days everyone gets a trophy and it's ok to cuss the coach out. Especially if he's your dad that normally let's you start😂
This happened to me before, I was rounding third and my coach put his hands out to stop me so we lost the game
lame, the umpires in your game were little baby back bitches
The sad part is that the coach didn't really mean to do it. It was one of those things that happened in the moment and he probably realized inside of a second he screwed up. But it's the right call
Nice job coaches. It was a good call by the ump, a learning experience for everyone involved, for sure.
innocent as it may seem,it was interference ,coaches cannot touch a player while the ball is in play,
It was not interference..
Its called coaches assistance.
The umpire is not only "serious" he is correct. A coach can NOT touch a runner while the ball is in play. The first base coach stopped the runner from going on to second base. The runner is out.
In most rule books it’s not about touching the runner but assisting them by touching them. High fives and such are generally legal, but pulling back to the bag like this is clearly not.
@@justins8802 100% correct. If you see an umpire call a kid out on a home run because of a high five, the umpire is wrong (and it happens too often.) This was not that. This was physically assisting the runner, which is an out.
@@gil4321 yep, happened to my niece in a varsity high school softball game. Simple high five to the runner right before she touched the plate. Took away the tying run and gave them the third out. They went on to lose the game by that one run. Awful.
@@justins8802 A lot of states don't allow protests for regular season games, but if they did, this would be one to play under protest. If not, the coach should at least make a report to the assigner or the state. Otherwise, the umpire will keep on making that incorrect call. (Unless the play happened very recently, it's too late to do anything about it. But for future reference...)
@@gil4321 On a HR the ball is typically out of play by the time the kid gets to first. I never once, in decades of baseball, seen a kid get hi fived on an HR still in the air. The coach would be watching the ball just like anyone else and would have to be right next to the plate anyway.
Although the right call, the problem I have is that the ump wasn’t going to call anything until the other coach told him what happened. Not sure the ump actually saw it.
Thanks for watching and commenting Jeff!
It's horrible the game ended that way but it was the right call. You can see the coach grabbed the kid by the arm to keep him at first (watch it slowly and you can see the arm being held back). Not only that but the coach actually stepped over the baseline and on to the field to stop him. It was all on the coach since you can see he was telling the runner to go to 2nd then needed him to stop because the ball was coming in fast. If the batter had gone, like he was told, good chance he's either out at 2nd or caught in a rundown.
Coaches interference, all the way! An offensive player or coach cannot physically assist a runner. The issue here was the delay of the plate ump in calling the out. If the plate ump didn't see it, then he shouldn't call the out. But he saw it, and he knew it would end the game. If the opposing coaches didn't challenge it, he would have ignored it. Coach knew it was the right call!
This is probably the best description of what happen. Exactly how i saw it.
How could you tell the ump saw it? He wasn't in the frame for a few seconds when the coach touched him.
This was absolutely the right call
the kid that yelled “GOD DAMN” had me dying
This was a close call at that age group. Everyone should remember that the rules of baseball are written for pro ball. I was an umpire and called over 3,000 games of all kinds from LL thru college. The way we call the game differs at every level. Were it not for the coach pointing to second base in an attempt to get the runner focused on advancing and then reaching out to check his progress, I am not making the interference call at this age group. It must be remembered that merely touching a runner is not considered interference. The touching must be meant to assist them in advancing or returning to the base. I've had many instances where a 3B coach is standing in the wrong place as a runner rounds third and has to do a bullfighter move to get out of the way, makes contact, and actually puts his own runner at a disadvantage. There was no intent and the contact was a disadvantage. There was no call to be made. i will say that in this case, the call had to be made and the coaches handled it properly.
Great job by head coach for calming parents down, shows what a real coach should be. I agree it was a crappy way to end but was obviously the correct call he was clearly out of the first base coaches box.
GOOD JOB BLUE ..RIGHT CALL...
Wasn't his call.
@@markpounders1107 It was his call, I guarantee you he saw it, he just didn't want to make it. Look at his body language, you know he hated doing that. The only reason he made it was due to the other coach pointing it out, then he HAD to make it if he saw it. He would've said, "Coach, I didn't see him grab him", if he hadn't seen it, unless he has no ethics.
Yes did grab the players top and pull on it. As such coach's interference runners out. Good job at the end of asking the parents to settle down.
I’m confused, was this the end of the game with that being 3rd out or did the Ump just end it for the Interference?
LOL....Coach blew the game for the kids....LOL
DelbertStinkfester oh well they’ll live. Get over it
The coach might be for different teams, that might be normal in the other games and he got caught up in the moment.. I've seen video of grownups running with kids rounding bases.. Maybe this was a World Series game with millions bet on it and they needed this expert umpire to call it.. Maybe?? If it was a bunch of skid marked little kids, you might want to bend a little.
Thomas Broking no bending. Clear violation. If he doesn’t know it, he doesn’t belong coaching bases. Bottom line. Those kids should’ve had the tying run at the plate with 2 outs. Their base coach blew it big time. First by telling the kid to go 2, then by grabbing him to stop him. Probably just a parent who has no experience coaching bases. If he did, he’d of told the kid to round it, instead of go 2. But since he already sent him, he had to grab him to prevent the final out at 2.
This is exactly why the rule is in place... in all leagues at that age level. The rule may be verbalized differently in each book, but this clearly violates all of them. Coach knew what he did. That’s why he quickly pretends like he’s just telling the kid good job, and then later in video lies about it... teaching the kids it’s ok to lie when you’re in a competition. Not verbally, but by his actions.
That was a weak ass call at that level.
We aren’t playing for million dollar contracts here, let them play the damn game. Sure it sucks to lose a game, but it’s worse to win a game with a silly ass call like that.
right? can't believe all of these baby back bitches in the comments here as if it's the LLWS. grow the fuck up lol
Great job, Coach. Never complaining, calming the unruly parents, distancing his players away from the nonsense to debrief. That could have easily escalated into a bad situation, but instead he remembered his job as a role model.
Rules are rules and kids need to learn that and the upset parents should already know that he did not simply touch the runner he grabbed his arm and pulled him back to first definitely coaches interference and automatic out
But had time been called yes, so it's his right to do that. The parents are right, here.
Time was not called. This was a live ball. Parents are 100% wrong.
