Question
how did they check the runner the first time? Did the pitcher throw to 1st? Because you can’t throw to an unoccupied base.
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 30, 2009 12:08 AM EDT reply actions
yes it was pitcher to 1st
"Come test me every day if you want," says Pujols, "Everything I ever made in this game I would give back to the Cardinals if I got caught."
the first time
Mota never was on the rubber. That’s why there wasn’t a call. To appeal, the pitcher has to engage the rubber, come set, step off, and then he becomes an infielder and can throw wherever he wants.
And good pitch there hawk.
Could you just tag Thursty
without engaging the rubber?
by Andyfantastic on Jul 30, 2009 12:12 AM EDT up reply actions
He didn't step off the first time, he wasn't ever on,
so they made him step off and do it again.

No you can't
you can’t throw to first if it isn’t covered.
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 30, 2009 12:11 AM EDT up reply actions
you can throw anywhere
as long as you step off. you can’t make a pick-off move to an un-occupied base, but a deliberate step off, turn, throw, is perfectly legal.
If you step off the rubber, you are an infielder
You can’t pull the “step in front of the rubber” pick off move to an empty base.

ot: sort of
For some levity, one of my favorite baseball stories ever.
Marv Throneberry was the 1b for the 1962 Mets…who were crap, of course. Throneberry was the ultimate flake on that team on a team full of them. One game, he pissed one into the gap and got a trouble. Unfortunately, the umpire called him out for missing first base. Turns out you have to do that in this baseball game. Anyway, Stengel comes waddling out of the dugout to argue. After Casey makes his case, the umpire replies.
“Casey, sorry to say it, but he missed 2nd too.”
