In addition to not cutting the clips too short, this one might have benefitted by writing the call (e.g., "interference on the pitcher", "touching the ball with detached equipment", etc.) so that it is clear what the call was.
That's why they call the announcers "Talking Heads". They've never read nor know the rules. They don't realize that Offense Obstructs and Defense Interferes. Also, they don't have a clue about detached equipment as shown when the Catchers scoop the ball with their masks.
I find it amazing that the so-called "Baseball experts" that are announcing these games have NO IDEA how Obstruction & Interference work, or the difference between the two. Interference is an Offensive violation, while Obstruction is a Defensive violation.
Many announcers' mistakes as expected. But at 2:59 there seems to be an umpire's error. The obstructed runner was coming back to third, but a play was being made at him. That's Type 1 obstruction, what gives him at least one base from the one he was already occupying, that means safe at home, and not at third as the umpire pointed.
Next to last + one earlier: those were catcher balks for having used their equipment (their mask) to corral the ball - this is illegal and any runners are awarded one base.
Why spend the time finding all these great plays and leave them missing important details. It feels like getting an amazing steak but only getting to chew each perfect bite for 2 seconds before spitting it out and moving on to another bite. Savor the flavor
That is an interpretation where the runner is attempting to exit the box and go to first base and catcher is attempting to field the ball. If the runner is actually running when he makes contact with the catcher, there is no call, because both players are doing what they are supposed to. It’s commonly referred to as an “Armbrister Tangle-Untangle”
Agree with all the comments below. Interference is a complicated call in baseball and before we get any analysis or explanation we're off to the new clip
Honestly, I can see that some of the obstructions are intentional. But others are not. Runners are focused on running to the next base. If the defender runs into the path of the runner, its not the runner that should avoid the defender as he is going where he should, its the defender that should avoid the runner if he is before the running path regardless of going for the ball. Now, if the defender is in front of the path(on or left side of the running path), then yes, the runner should avoid the defender by going around to the right...within reasonable distance. Now, I know there is gonna be the question of what if the ball meets up with the runner...well, same deal as it is currently played out. If it hits the runner, automatic out. If it misses and the defender can still collect the ball while avoiding the runner, try for the tag if the ball is caught, or throw it to the baseman.
Problem is that the pesky thing called the rule book. It says: that the defender has the right to a clear path to the baseball without interference. from the offense. Just like the offensive player has a clear path to the base as long as the defensive player is not in possession of the ball. if the defensive player has possession of the ball then from the time the defensive player makes an attempt at a tag on the player then the offensive player has 3 FEET on either side of the direct basepath to the base to try and avoid the tag. if he runs outside of that basepath then he should be called out.
R.J., that would be an interesting suggestion for changing the rule for the next year. Until then, the fielder elected by the umpire as the one with the right to field the batted ball has all the right of the way to go for the ball, field it and even throw it without any disturbing from any runner, that must go around and avoid any hindering, or else is automatically out.
Not sure 2:19 would have been interference because they were a foot inside and if he would have ran straight down the line he would not have run into them.
Using a piece of equipment that is no properly attached (glove not on hand, hat not on head, mask not on head) is detached equipment. If detached equipment makes deliberate contact with a ball of the bat, all runners advance three bases. For a thrown ball, two bases. And for a pitch, one base. Also, if the umpires feel that detached equipment prevented a home run, they can award a home run.
The ball was not being throwed to first baseman from home plate, so there is no runner line interference rule to be applied. Runner was running towards first, as he should, and did not look for intentional contact. The only fielder that can hinder him from running is the protected fielder fielding the ball (the first baseman in this case). The pitcher or any other in runner's way will be an obstruction and batter-runner will get first base.
Sorry. Interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball is immediate dead ball, so there is no wait for the play outcome, so there was no catch. Runner is out. Batter-runner gets first. By the way, if you are slower than the batter, maybe you should interfere in that pop-up always😂
@@helviojr The runner in blue uniform was the one that caused the it. I would have called him out It was at 1:10. He went out of his way to push the pitcher. He had plenty of room to make it to the bag with out any contact. I did not look at every one of them but like I said some of them i would not have called
@@ronaldmead7643 I understand many think that way, but, no. He was going in the direction of the base. He is not obligated to run in the runner's lane in that situation by the rule (it is only when there is a throw to first). He didn't change his direction to collide. He does not have to change his direction to avoid the collision with the pitcher, even if he had plenty of room to run around him, because the pitcher is not the only one fielder elected to field the batted ball. If the batter-runner had collided with the first baseman, that would be an interference and he would be immediately out. Any other fielder in the way of the batter-runner would cause an obstruction, dead ball, batter-runner would get first base, as it was the case. That's the rule.
@@helviojr He you saw where he started running he was going right down the base path. He then moved to the left about a foot and that is when he made contact with the picture who was left of the bag. If the batter would have kept runing down the base path there would not have been any contact and he woud have still have been out. Like i said i would not have called interference on the pitcher but on the batter
@@ronaldmead7643 I don't see he changing direction specifically to collide, but, yes, he set his path directly to the base maybe thinking that the pitcher would forget to get away, because he can. The 3-feet runner's lane does not matter here because there is no throw coming from behind the runner, so he can elect a straight line to the base, as it would be the faster path, as long that he does not hinder the first baseman (that is protected). The other fielders MUST give the way. Batter-runner used a smart play, probably on purpose (but we are not mind readers here) and used the rules in his favor. Pitcher did the exact opposite.
The clips are all 2 seconds too short
Yep. More than that actually. The plays need to be lont enough to see the ruling and result. I quit at about a minute in.
So did I
Yeah only a few clips have the announcer voiceover with the ruling
Yes
Yep
In addition to not cutting the clips too short, this one might have benefitted by writing the call (e.g., "interference on the pitcher", "touching the ball with detached equipment", etc.) so that it is clear what the call was.
Good video but you have to let some of the clips play longer so we can see the outcome.
Really need to let the plat outcomes play thru!!!
Too edit happy.
My Big pet peeve is how professional baseball announcers never seems to know the difference between interference and obstruction.
I agree with you 100%
Yeah
It is almost like they think interference is an obstruction and obstruction is an interference!
That's why they call the announcers "Talking Heads". They've never read nor know the rules. They don't realize that Offense Obstructs and Defense Interferes. Also, they don't have a clue about detached equipment as shown when the Catchers scoop the ball with their masks.
@@leonardlopez7771 I agree with almost 100%. Except you have it backwards. Offense interferes and defense obstructs. Otherwise you're right on.
5:44 biggest pet peeve. I’m just glad they are understanding to call them out
Too many of these compilations cut the clip too short, some even before the play is half done. Rather frustrating!
Good choices of genuinely nice variety of illegal plays, but they needed some more context, especially the parts that come after the play.

The clips are so short they don't even include the actual call let alone the discussion of the ruling.

scenes are too short....you don't let things become clear!!!!
6:52 is obstruction type 2, and I toss the fielder. Throwing up an elbow at R1
Just a fyi, you should really show a tad bit more of the plays,, instead of cutting so quickly
Why spend the time finding all these great plays and leave them missing important details. It feels like getting an amazing steak but only getting to chew each perfect bite for 2 seconds before spitting it out and moving on to another bite. Savor the flavor
Yes far too short. Let's hear about the call!
Why wasn’t the Reds armbrister called for interference in the World Series.
That is an interpretation where the runner is attempting to exit the box and go to first base and catcher is attempting to field the ball. If the runner is actually running when he makes contact with the catcher, there is no call, because both players are doing what they are supposed to.
It’s commonly referred to as an “Armbrister Tangle-Untangle”
@@rickhaavisto9023 Carlton Fisk’s dad said if had just made a decent throw, there would be no controversy.
Thanks for your reply! 👍

Playing by the rules makes it fun
Yeah, some of these clips are, How can I show you the clip without showing you the clip 😂

Because the runner is entitled to run anywhere he wants unless a tag is being attempted on him
well what the hell happened?? most of this is cut off before its decided!!!
What is the rule about the catcher touching the ball with his mask?
Using a piece of equipment that is no properly attached (glove not on hand, hat not on head, mask not on head) is detached equipment.
If detached equipment makes deliberate contact with a ball of the bat, all runners advance three bases. For a thrown ball, two bases. And for a pitch, one base.
Also, if the umpires feel that detached equipment prevented a home run, they can award a home run.
@@rickhaavisto9023 Thanks.
2:23 not really interference, the baserunner is not in the baseline, the pitcher was fine.
The ball was not being throwed to first baseman from home plate, so there is no runner line interference rule to be applied.

The only fielder that can hinder him from running is the protected fielder fielding the ball (the first baseman in this case). The pitcher or any other in runner's way will be an obstruction and batter-runner will get first base.
And you're right. That's not interference. Fielder hindering runner is called obstruction.
1: 30,,,, Pitt ,. Not interference!! He caught the ball , so there was no interference!

Why are you cutting the clips short? 🤬 Shit makes me change the video so fast
A few of them was not interfearence
Yes. The ones made by the defense are obstruction. All plays were illegal acts and were correctly adjudged.

Not enough context = not very interesting.
This video is unwatchable. Every clip lacks context. There is no explanation of any call.
Great! Another channel that can't play the whole clips!
