Dumbest Play in MLB History - Pirates vs Cubs 5/27/21

It's worth it watching Rizzo double over laughing.

[rickyvaughn]

One the announcers said he's never seen a first base coach wave a runner to first base.

[NightingaleSunset]

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS TOUCH THE DAMN BASE, CJ!

[paulevans]

The funniest part was Baez signaling that the runner was safe lol

[justinsmith]

The funniest thing I’ve ever seen is when Baez signaled safe and then took off for first base

[AEMoreira]

All he had to do was...

STEP
ON
FIRST!

[ralphjackson]

The single dumbest thing about this play: he got home.

[astros]

What was funny about this was before this happened the pirates had Contreras picked off but allowed him to get to 2nd safely. Then this happened and during both players the pirates broadcast we’re interviewing the pirates manager. They pretty quickly ended the interview. To make matters worse Baez ended up scoring on the next play, and Anderson the pitcher had to throw a lot more pitches.

0:12 watching baez & da ump calling him safe is satisfying & in sync 😱

[lsr]

Imagine if this resulted in a inside the park homerun lol!

[lilsisasu]

I don’t watch baseball much, but even I knew that was stupid!

[Cape]

The lackadaisical effort from every Pirate ... breathtaking.

[paulsteinhauser]

If anyone in little League or school tries this same thing. I'll laugh the whole way.

[juniorcosio]

All he had to do is step on the base. 😂

[DWM]

Could you imagine if that had happened in a packed full ball park.

[anime_weeb]

All the 1st baseman had to do was step on the bag to get out of the inning and not give up another run. Like how is he in the MLB?! 😂

[CarlosMatthewR]

1st baseman never played another game in the majors after this...last i read he was plaing in South Korea

[sourisvoleur]

Couldn't the first basement just have backed up three steps and touched the bag? Why go into a run-down?

[thebroskis]

Can't believe that was my first and only game ive been too so far

[tomdonnelly]

Good heads up by offense ! Never seen this one before ! Has anyone !?
