That’s the kind of extended screwup that you don’t even get yelled at in the Pirates locker room afterward. What’s the point? Really, why even bother?

PS: I hope the Pirates involved enjoy being on TV, because as was noted online they’re gonna be showing this clip for years.

It’s not September yet, the dream is still alive.

This is why I watch Baseball. I went to a AAA game a few years ago and just about *everything* happened that day. The only thing that didn’t was a Grand Slam Home Run. 3,2,1 run homers, base on a *3rd* strike (no shit), and the manager got ejected. Best day at the ballpark *ever*.
Round bat, round ball. Unpredictable shit happens. But failing to step on the bag is just … well, he wouldn’t do it twice on my team.
It’s been 15 years since I coached little league but if one of my 14 year olds had fucked up like that 1b he’d have run laps until I was tired. Imbecile.
Remind me if I’m wrong, but IIRC and bad throws aside, the runner on third matters not a whit. With two outs, he cannot score unless the hitter gets safely to first base.
That’s what made it so insane! That dude MUST be a magician, because he threw down Mass Confusion on the opposite team and it worked!
