I'm glad I was able to see the replay with 4 video annotations blocking the entire screen.

The 3rd base coach should’ve paid more attention to the fake handoff.

How does this happen with all his teammates and coaches on the field plus he should have been paying attention!😂

[Rafer]

effing next vids screens come up to play for the best view at the end. what a joke.

[dinog]

Actually there was no handoff. It was a fake handoff. There’s aYouTube video that shows 3rd baseman catch ball from 1st baseman near front of pitching mound. Good time to do it since pitcher was covering 3rd base on the bunt play. They then act like pitcher gets the ball when they return to their position by tapping their gloves.

The 4 video prompts and the quick espn cut away…give me a break, do better.

What i notice is the first baseman needs to stretch out more that is cutting runners close and sooner you gonna get beat out

[BachBeethovenBerg]

Don’t ever take your lead until the pitcher is touching the rubber. If the pitcher touches the rubber as if he’s about to pitch without the ball, it’s a balk.

[Otis-oflb]

Train your runners to stay on the bag until the pitcher is on the mound. Duh!

[Ken-wvwg]

Part of me thinks thats chicken shit especially if it’s against my team.

[mikefargo]

Never-NEVER take a leadoff if the pitcher isn't standing on the rubber !

For all the people complaining about teams doing this trick, who cares people are out there to have fun and why not throw a trick play in. That 3rd base coach should have seen it and he should not be leading off if the pitcher isn’t even on the rubber.

[zachansen]

fire the third base coach on the spot for not telling the runner to stay on the bag til the pitcher is on the rubber. That's just awful coaching.

[Clayton-kfsu]

Mgr. and coaches get the blame for not being aware. Third base coach is oblivious to what’s going on. God, come on.

[daverowell]

Third base Coach screwed up. Nice job!

[captain]

Coaches fault. One teaches every base runner to stay on base until the pitcher is seen putting his foot on the rubber on the mound !

[edkaempf]

They should fire the third base coach. He wasn’t paying attention, obviously, which is his primary job.

[ScottMudd]

Why is the runner of the base with the pitcher standing 10 feet away from the dirt around the mound. Players are taught to stay on the base until the pitcher is on the rubber.

[SVT]

I always wait to see if the pitcher is on the mound or else I ain’t moving an inch. It’s a chess game

If you have to resort to hidden ball tricks then you have no confidence in your own skill or ability. Legal but cheap.
