7:58 "That's BS. He knows he probably got away with one here."
This is as obvious an obstruction call as I've ever seen. The first baseman (Adam Dunn) blocks his path back to first and even moves to keep blocking him when he tries to go around him.

1:44 - ok, a lot of people don't understand this one. he stood sideways in the "Set" position, but then used the Windup motion to pitch; in MLB that's a Balk by rule UNLESS the pitcher informs the plate umpire before the pitch that he's going to use the Windup from the Set position for that at-bat. The announcers don't know the rule, but then they never do. I don't know if the manager is arguing that "well, YOU should just KNOW he's using the windup with a runner on 3B, we shouldn't have to tell you" (that's not the rule) or if he's claiming they did tell the umpire and he just didn't hear. For those who demand rule cites, see OBR 5.07(a)(2) Comment, Paragraph 2.
In FED rules (high school), this is a balk regardless, the pitcher simply can't do that at all.

These titles are written like someone from India is trying to cash in on baseball clips lol

6:42 "It's hard to see..."
You generally don't see a catcher's interference call. You hear it. When the bat hits the glove and then the ball, you will hear two hits. If the bat hits the glove and not the ball, it will sound similar to a foul ball, though the sound of it hitting soft leather is different. Seldom is the hit hard enough to see unless the glove is knocked off or the hand itself is hit solidly, causing the catcher to wince.

Who would've thought Joe West would open in a video and actually do the right thing?

[stevenevert]

Biggest problem with this video is the lack of context on alot of the plays. Just when you're starting to get a idea of what's going on the video jumps to another clip.

Note: "in the running lane" = *both feet* on or within the lines.
'Nuther Note: the runner may legally exit the running lane in the *last* step or stride (or slide) to first base.

Amazing how many people, including managers, don't understand the Runner's Lane in baseball

[renardmigrant]

4:54 is the correct call, just the broadcasters have no idea what they're talking about. Easy call for the umps.

Damn, Joe West was throwing people out then, he’s throwing people out now

"That's his normal wind-up."

[alexh]

2:08 that's easily a balk. His front foot is nowhere near 45 degrees or less. His front foot is almost coming home

[Maxbps]

@ 2:15 = THAT was a balk. Hands-down. No debate.

[j.rodolfoprz]

I still don't know what a balk is, but I enjoy watching these videos.

[mynameisares]

4:22 “Just stop” going full speed to make it home and in the space of two steps he could’ve stopped? Maybe he could’ve turned and avoided the catcher but there’s no way he could’ve fully stopped

[michaelkammer]

The one with the orioles pick off to second, the pitcher didn’t step toward second base, that’s the balk. It was a good call.

[danarrington]

0:40 You cannot call a balk if an umpire has called time. They should have gotten together and corrected the call.

[jeffybear]

This just proves that no one knows what the 45 foot line is for, except the umpires.

[natemorris]

2:30 that's a balk IDC where his toe is facing the leg is at least 80 degrees to home

[sttv]

I played baseball for 12 years. These balk calls are still a mystery.
