Catcher's Hard Tag Empties Both Dugouts

[justinsane11]

Stfu about the ump. Catcher was jawin after he made the out. Ump was there and diffused a situation before it happened. this couldve been a lot worse.

[thedynamite85]

baseball is a pussy sport... "oh no, he touched me too hard."

[kjk67895]

@thedynamite85 exactlyt why there making millions and your making nada



[thedynamite85]

@kjk67895 I'm pretty sure the "athletes" in this video aren't making half what I do

[WarHawk44]

umpire got pissed cuz he only gets turned on with easy calm touches....faggot

[stephenjones102]

What was that catcher's trip?

[Tankness420691]

Umpire actually did a real good job. It is called preventitive umpiring.. I am sorry saying lets calm down guys...Let's play nice doesn't work

[NatsTown2K10]

man up you pussy......

[Frostylyxxx]

Umpire is getting excited and needs to calm down. Idiot.

[thefourthbeastie]

the runner did exactly what the catcher wanted him to do! what is he mad at!?

[MikeWarrenAZ]

The ump looked more aggressive than the catcher--in fact it looked like the ump initiated contact. That should never happen. But some moron thinks the ump deserves "decking" for that? No, I think the ump's supervisor should have a word with him. And the moron should get "decked."

[LordValor001]

I have to ask...never seen it before but.....could you tech. knock the ball out of there hand without having to run them over? lol

just wondering......hmmmmm kick it? XD

[standby4excita]

@LordValor001 No, A-Rod tried that against the Red Sox in '04 and he was ruled out. Solid idea though

[LordValor001]

@standby4excita ive always wonderd lol i give props to A-Rod for trying i mean you always seen a guy give up and get caught in a run down id try to football juke that shit or smack it lol

casue if the catcher drops the ball your safe always figured it would be the same for others but oh well :l

[GoodLifeGodLike]

Catcher got pissed because the runner went after his knee.

[teenchy]

Stupidest thing I see here is the ump shoving the catcher. Players can't shove umps why vice versa? Ump deserved decking.

[GodOfAmmo]

The runner knew he had the ball, he was watching him. The catcher was pissed because the runner dropped his shoulder way low and leaned into it. Not a smart thing to do to a guy wearing pads. So he made a hard tag which was fine. Nothing wrong with being a little rough as a catcher. Reminds people not to mess with you. If he didn't start trying to fight like an idiot the play would've been fine. That's why you talk trash under the mask at the plate when the ump isn't paying attention.

[prosurfer2222]

@LOLROAMER baseball is for bitches......so fucking boring to watch.....you want a real sport....play football bitch

[ecow3]

@prosurfer2222 yea okay big man you fuckin pussy you would never be able to play baseball

[prosurfer2222]

@ecow3 actually i did...i pitched in hs fresh-senior yr....and played football also

[ecow3]

@prosurfer2222 then you probably sucked if you come back to bash it

[schutzstaffa]

OH THIS IS BULL FUCKING SHIT IM A HIGFHSCHOOL CATCHER I SHOULD KNOW HES COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT WHAT A GODDAMNPUSSY!

[nickmcmoney1]

i thought the play was fine all around until the catcher had to try and start a fight.. but thats a typical catcer for ya

[AngelsFan04]

I didnt know there was baseball in Alaska..  lol

[89CAVEMAN1]

Baseball is for the weak

[SaggyCable]

if you watch the other video from this game, that same catcher got plowed when he didnt have the ball. thats why he made the "strong" tag

[LiveTheAlexLife]

How was that strong?

[justinhillm33]

catcher is an ass

[TEAMELITESC]

earlier in this game the oilers did something similar but everyone was safe

[peasebwh13]

Being a catcher at even the lower levels myself I think he felt he was trying to be upended. Runner trying to draw an interference call on the catcher anticipating a throw back to 3B also tried to protect himself in a collision. Catcher took offense thinking it was low and cheap. We'll never know...

[bdfcodered74]

Ya my ass the catcher was just trying to make sure he tagged the runner its the ups fault

[marshalloo22]

the catcher is 100% meathead..

[DeBe999]

Some runners are pussy´s.

A fe weeks ago a runner was coming home, (I´m catcher) and I caught the ball on the throw from the outfield and he ran into me. He was out.

But suddenly he was so angry en said I tagged him to hard.

well.. I just laughed. :D

But you know, that´s just the level here in Holland I guess?

[abels457]

i love when tht happens in softball especially sense i'm 10 it's even funnier!!! except for the time when i got kicked out a game GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!!

[billyballs68]

Fags

[Birchmasta26]

@nopeg5 oh my god what are you a 4 year old princess? its baseball, its a contact sport. the runner turned and unexpectedly there was the catcher and they collide its BASEBALL A CONTACT SPORT!!!!!!!!!!!

[cruiseguyhawaii]

What a bunch of whiners & little baby diaper boys!!!!

[Cheznikkkk]

The catcher is a jackass. When is the last time you seen someone stand straight up and turn around when they're in a rundown? There is always some form of horizontal action.

Besides, he's the fucking catcher. You get hit, that's part of the job. You don't get up and start trying to talk shit when you get hit. You just ignore it and go on.

[Biscuitchris7again]

Runner tried to send the catcher up and over him by rushing the catchers legs. Happened to me all the time in little league, fucking kids. I would have laid him out for that. That's bush-league bullshit that you should know not to do at this level.

[kindguy420]

@Biscuitchris7again i can not believe how dumb you are. get a helmet.

[rangask8er]

Nothing wrong with the tag he was running and the runner stoped and turns

[ltcavs09]

poop sports in the two videos ive seen of these kids both almost emptied the dugout's

[colemano260]

well the catcher aint gonna shake the runners hand wut did the umps expect

[thewho2345]

never pump fake in a pickle, not only does in fake the runner out but it fakes out ur fielder too

[jacob12721]

@thewho2345 what that makes no fucking sense..... 1. ur fielder is suppose to call for the ball. 2. he sould be ready for the ball at all times 3. ur supose to fake out the runner. 4. your an idiot

[captainnemo314]

heres another fact... baseball sucks a larggeeee penis

[tylerss20]

I don't know what the runner is pissed about. He's caught in the rundown, and changed direction right into the catcher. So it was a hard tag, so what? He ran into it.

[TheBryant1988]

boring

[killratoss]

that wasnt as hard at it could have been not nearly, it was fine.

[chadsexinton]

the ump hyped it up

[desertkush420]

yea the runner was bout to get his stuff nd go to dug out so it was an accident but i would have recked his ass a big collision

[OVECHKIN852]

wtf thatwasbt hard but i think he said something to the base runner

[BQZip01]

weak. one bench walked onto the field

[KevyBProductions]

i play catcher for jv, and i cant tell you how many times ill tag a kid out with force, just for the hell of it. Funny shit anyways

[bigbadredsox]

This has to be the uglist and most sorry-looking infield I ever seen!!

[592220]

Catcher's put on that suit of armour and think they are BAAAAAAAD

[Element1516]

the umpire seemed to get a lil more excited then he needed to and kinda escalated the situation with his frantic acting.. the runner and ump are to blame here.. more the runner... but the ump turned it into something bigger

[Marines1125]

id tag him hard too...looked like the runner was gonna grab his legs and flip him upside down......

[willyjackblueeyes]

the runner is in the wrong, he knew the ball hadnt been thrown and went for the guys knees. thats why the runner pussied out when the catcher got in his face.

[OVECHKIN852]

wtf is that u justwasted my time



[jaylokz20]

WEN EVER THE CATCHER MAKES A HARD TAG ON ME I ALWAYS TELL HIM SUMTHN N THEY DNT GET IN MY FACE AFTER DAT BUT THIS GUY I WOULDVED SOCKED HIS ASS

[rwk1983]

@jaylokz20 so its ok if the runner hits the catcher hard but when a catcher give you a taste of your own medicine you whine.........................­.poor baby

[kace842]

that runner dropped his shoulder to take out that catcher, that was blatant, we had a kid do it this year to our second baseman in a rundown, he dropped his shoulder and flipped our kid over him.

[nocalsteve]

The ump overreacted and made the situation worse.

[Eskimoboy22]

i know tyler best. hes actually a pretty bad ass guy haha

[ichiro2051]

the baserunner was bout to collide with the catch id get pissed off to

[RabidWolf1966a]

poor baby , he got tagged....and doesnt seem that HARD of a tag to me

ITS BASEBALL not a girly pillow fight

[superninjahotdogs]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO. LMFAOOOOOOOO. Dumbass Ump.

[linkedinprofessor]

There was nothing wrong with anything on this play until the catcher started mouthing off after the tag. The catcher need better coaching and a lot more class.

[yeah2boy]

@linkedinprofessor bullshit. the runner stop and goes right after the catcher. catcher is just letting him know whats up. you probably havent played a sport past 8 year old soccer lol

[PowerstrokeDude97]

The catcher was running pretty fast with all his momentum going forward tword the runner, the runner stops and turns around and the catcher runs into because of the forward momentum, the catcher was mad because he thought the runner droped his shoulder on him, the runner is just a panzy for thinking its a hard tag and then the benches clear, uncalled for fyi. Im a catcher at my high school and i can see plain and clear everfything that happend.

[Chris6418]

@PowerstrokeDude97 how is the base runner the pansy? it seems like the catcher is. he's the one that was bitchin and moanin that he got ran into. watch the vid again. the base runner gets tagged, and goes to grab his helment and the catcher starts whining "why you run into me dick?"

[ReaperOfMen]

@Chris6418 Just because he dropped his shoulder. I think it was all just miscommunication. The runner may have thought that the catcher was throwing the ball to third, so he was about to turn and run back home, but the catcher thought he was trying to take him out.

[BufirdMauhaney]

runner tried to own but got owned.

[dbothacrooked24]

why was the catcher mad?

FAIL

[BestTits]

wow catcher thinks hes a badass cause he tagged someone

[MROSEN62]

.. and both of the fans in the stands enjoyed it a great deal !

[zZBBZz100]

wow that was not the catchers fault bullshit on the runner for getting mad over nothing. pussy alaskin ball

[WhoopieDoos]

it wasnt that hard ive got ht so har i got airborn haha

[ricepaddy69]

I think the runner asked the catcher pre-game to give him a noogie. The catcher agreed, but the runner didn't like the fact that he used the ball instead of his fist. XD

[xXTjFoDaddYXx]

dude everything was fine until catcher started mouthing!! it wasn't because of a "hard tag" it was because of a mouthy catcher.

[rwk1983]

@xXTjFoDaddYXx dude the runner was at fault...................you cant try to take out,flip,or lower your shoulder in a run down period. I was a catcher for 4-5 years and that would of pissed me the hell off. Ive gone across a runners spin with my little league catchers helmet for running me over without the ball and not blocking the plate (standing out of the baseline in front of the plate) SO THIS IS MILD!!!!

[xXTjFoDaddYXx]

@rwk1983 Idk man, everything was legal until the catcher started mouthing. The runner didnt do anything wrong and the catcher got the out. The runner was going back to dugout and the catcher started showing his anger. As an athlete I know when frustrating things happen ,but its within the rules, u just gotta shut up about it and go on.

[EmpireState19]

Shitty field gay way to empty dugouts

[gfrthcharg1]

This is a F U C K E D up ballfield I've seen several vids with it and wierd plays and S H I T

[nyyankees153]

That didn't look to hard....just walk it off and forget it. The runner clearly ran in the the catcher. Whats the catch gonna do? Step back and tag him lightly and possibly get ran over? No. He just lets the runner hit him.

[darthba11er]

this video is misleading. It didn't start out as a "hard tag"

If you look closely, you will see the runner on his way back lowered his shoulder in an attempt to possibly knock the ball out of the catcher's glove.

That is acceptable if this play was at the plate but not in the middle of

a rundown. I'm sure some trash talking insued, and tempers flared.

The catcher was not at fault here.

[mattyg3838]

this looks like the catcher who got run over in one of the other related clips on here. I guess he wanted some payback....

[critter2]

now that i look out it it look like the runner was trying to get the catcher to flip over, most likey the reason for the harder tag afterwords.

[mikeman919]

Umpires do not get enough credit. What a great job by the plate umpire handling this situation!

[aligerous]

Didn't even look like that hard of a tag. The catcher just looked like he had to open his mouth and start chipping. Seemed the runner was fine with it, initially.

[Dskillet101]

i agree with bigrob... spot on

[bigrob981]

he thought the catcher had thrown the ball...runner turned and ran into the catcher.

nothing cheap. he did not try to run the guy over...its was just a good hard play.the catcher is just a punk ass, trying to act tough.

[Sonic8231]

Great job by the umpire here to stop a fight.

[Blackmenace7]

he was trying to duck the tag

[Famousnv45]

the dude lowered his shoulder I would be mad too. That guy knew he was toast anyways he should have just let him tag him because there's no reason to cause bad blood over a clear out.

[mikedelpiero9]

most pointless clip ever

[jm01031976]

"whole oilers dugout come on to the field" and.... don't get beyond the first base line.

[BblockB3]

i would fight 2 if i had 2 play on that fuckin piece of french shit baseball field

[jjmmcc443344]

it was only strong cuz the runner looked like he was gonna run back... he basicly crashed into the catcher cuz he though the catcher threw the ball

[whocares123455]

idk what the problem was, but its the runners fault for being a douche; he tried to duck down btw, his fault.

[YXdude]

i think the catcher thought the runner intentionally headbutted him in the nuts

[MrSargent09]

that was dum. if ur gonna put benches clear there better be a fight.

[garco1527]

pitcher did cover home 9 sec....this vid no biggie catcher was prob on the roids he over reacted

[thefogg]

@garco1527 most likely, and why not play sports without them. they probably used them earlier last century. i know i would

[Legit92nick]

pitcher was supposed to cover behind home lol

[milkshakelol]

thats bullshit the catcher was running after the runner and then the runner turned around and tried to run home wtf do u expect? it was the runners fault he ran into the catcher.

[vmitchv44]

@milkshakelol your last statement is what is incorrect for you. Both the runner and the catcher(only when he has the Ball) are equally allowed to be in the base path

[Baseball5030]

@milkshakelol no it wasn't the runners fault. He's got every right to try and avoid the tag. he turned around with no momentum going towards the catcher, tried to avoid the tag, stood up once tagged, and picked up his helmet. Get off the roids catcher.

[soccer12811]

@milkshakelol a four year old would notice that

[HunterandCade]

@milkshakelol no way man ur fucking retarded

[Sportsandstuff18]

@milkshakelol that's a good point, but in a run-down the fielders shouldn't be in the basepath.

[critter2]

@Sportsandstuff18 there a 3-feet allowed to go around to avoid collison or slide... if he didn't want to be in a run down he should of never tried to go home on infeild bubble

[nickmcmoney1]

@milkshakelol 

[nickmcmoney1]

@milkshakelol he thought he threw the ball dipshit

[TheHoothoot1]

@milkshakelol no he fucking tried to tackle him you fucking piece of shit

[madchains]

I think the runner was trying make the catcher trip, no hard tag there.

[Oicurdead]

Clean tag i didnt see him poke him in the eye or punch him or something like that unless he can punch faster then the speed of sound then ok but other then that it was a clean tag.

[houstonsox44]

t catcher did not tag him hard on purpose. t runner was t one who ran into t catcher.

[Pensfan8726]

This is in Pittsburgh? YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[MookySev]

wtf...there was just a video on how shitty one of the teams exacuted a pickle....

[tlsmitty214]

that wasn't a hard tag. the catcher ran into him. Play hard or go home.

[theknownraver]

i agree. his momentum was going foreward.

[kellyshero58]

it also looked like the runner was trying to take him out at the legs, the way he was down low, and ran straight into his legs like that.

[oldaardvark]

Much ado about nothing.

[BkNvh]

gay

[bigrob981]

that was weak....the runner was notr trying to take out the catcher. it looked as if he slipped while.

[RayBoylan]

The runner is 80 feet from home after making a bonehead decision to try to score - so he compounds his brain fart by trying to put his shoulder into the catcher and knock him over 80 FEET FROM HOME!!!! Lve to see his next at bat - can you say flip him?

[KJT922010T]

what league is that A?

[jaketimmons08]

The catcher is pissed because the runner would not give him a blowjob.

[skimarcus]

What's the catcher bitching about? He's wearing all the protective gear. Puss.

[mastersaxon024]

here's somethin that u could just misinterpret... the runner looked like he thought the ball was thrown to 3rd, so while turning to go home, slipped and dropped his shoulder. i can see how the catcher thought that the runner was meaning to drop his shoulder, but like i said, it all just seemed to be an accident

[critter2]

maybe that but i also think it was teh cahtcher mometum as well as i dont think he was excepting the runner to slip

[Silkyfredo]

Last comment replying to Swedefinn101. This game was a home game.

[swedefinn101]

that's the Alaska Goldpanners field. There's another video on youtube where an airplane crash lands right behind the left field fence.

[Silkyfredo]

Actually thats an away game

[prowlin4life]

dude

u play catcher. shake it off, he had no where to go but into you trying to shake the ball loose.

[jairodrigue]

oh by the way the announcer is an idiot "makes a pretty strong tag" the catcher got ran into.

[jairodrigue]

that was not a hard tag the runners only hope was to dislodge the ball. Which he is allowed to do since the catcher was blocking the path to the plate. Catcher is allowed to be in the path but getting ran into comes with the territory.

[mattman2900]

If thats the same Ben Fritz who was in the A's farm system and now in Erie, then I went to school with him, and that tag wouldn't make him get in your face, but whatever Best said might. What the hell was the catchers problem?

[Usctrojansrb]

the catcher probably assumed the runner purposely barreled his shoulder into him but i dont think u can consider that barreling

[theroopsmith]

Why's the catcher complaining, he's charging down the line after the guy, what does he expect, the runners only got two ways to go, back to third or stop and turn home. Catcher's wearing protection deal with it. He's got more testosterone than he does brains. Good job by the umpire for defusing it but the catcher's a dope.

[dmiles1021]

haha catcher is such a pussy

[bobofbob5]

how was it staged ur soooooooooooooooo stupid it didnt even show the stands

[sddkoyn]

dude you dont even see the stands t you dumb fuck how could you know no one was there

[f7racer0516]

its was the fuckin runners fault...y didnt he dive back to third...he gave the catcher a shoulder to the gut

[ace9570]

wtf are you talking about, first there are ppl in the stands, and its college ppl just watch it on T.V like i do

[spankyda1]

how was that staged

[RipRiderSays]

guys this was a staged film.. those were actors.. filming.. if u notice no one is in the stands.. =\

[Claustapho]

Wow, your retarded...

I think it's pretty funny how there's always some idiot that has to say how fake a video is. In this case, your that person.

[htownmike68]

what the hell, clear benches? where was the fight? Weak

[Alphonse64]

Haha, I've seen harder tags. Our shortstop got the ball and ran the guy down at 1st and just pummeled this kid he like rolled forever haha.

[KhrisBaz]

That didn't seem like it was that hard of a tag. I've definitely seen MUCH harder tags. Also, that was horrible baserunning by that player.

[shorecrat]

It wasn't the catcher, the runner lowered upper body and brought up shoulder & elbow.

[Brody73]

I played on that field.

Fairbanks, AK

[blueflame99]

wow

[nate69]

what fight???? get it right
