Idiocy in Pittsburgh
The story talks about the dumbest play of the season. I nominate it for the dumbest play in MLB history, although I haven't thought about it for more than a few minutes. PLUS THERE WERE TWO OUTS!!!!

Hilarious! I can't stop watching this video.
Will this play be known as "Craig's Boner" from now on? Has a catcher ever had runners bearing down on him at the plate from both first and third base at the same time before? The Pirates were lucky to hold Baez at second base. That throw at second got away and could have ended up in the outfield. And then the next batter Ian Happ singled in Baez. You can not make this stuff up! A play like this is one big reason why baseball is so great. Last edited by BengoughingForAwhile; 05-27-2021 at 04:09 PM.

Funny thing is, if Baez had been thrown out at 1B, then under rule 5.08(a), the run would have been erased.

Exactly.
1). Turn and walk the ball to 1b. Inning over. OR 2 Charge the runner and tag him. There is no rundown play, as the batter has no safe base where he can return. Dumb because you have to tag before runner scores, but still should be OK as you have the whole play in front of you and can sprint at the batter. If he somehow evades you AND stays in the baseline, turn and soft toss to 1b. Inning over. OR 3) Have catcher make accurate throw to 1B and have infielder already there to accept throw. Inning over, no run scores despite the preceding foolishness. BUT NO. Team Buffoonery. At the highest level. Quote:

The only possible explanation is that the Pirates first baseman Will Craig had no idea that there were 2 outs. Why run Baez all the way back to home and just when Baez has run out of room throw the ball to the catcher to try and tag a sliding Contreras?

And what was the Pirates second baseman doing during this whole play? Just wandering around the infield? "Oops! I better hightail it over to first base now!"
