MLB "Highlight Reel" thread

bmp1971 · Jun 16, 2016

I thought it would be nice to have a thread for people to post sparkling plays in MLB that they want others here to check out. Please limit it to current plays you come across:

I'll start it out with this Conforto grab:

Great idea!

But great bloopers are more fun...

Maybe so, but they're more difficult to find on a regular basis.

I watch a lot of Yankees games so I must disagree :banghead:

It's trivial to find. MLB.COM/VIDEO and browse the Cut4 section.

MLB.COM/VIDEO for the rest of the day's popular highlights, too. You'll have to dig down to the game highlights to concentrate on a specific game. I just go to the two sections above every day for the most popular highlights and for the bloopers/oddities in cut4.

Best catch of the day, a Phillies fan holding his 2 year old daughter and a food tray in one hand, caught a foul ball with his other hand, without dropping anything. Go Phillies!

"Rags" still has my all-time favorite blooper. It's not great quality in this clip but you get the idea...

Start a blooper thread. I just wanted highlight vids of top plays in this one. But that Rags' chuck is funny.

Finnegan should have nailed the ump with a pitch. You can clearly see Finnigan is in his pitching motion (his non-pitching rubber foot is already lifted).

I wonder why pitchers don't throw a pitch in the direction of an umpire more often looking like an "accident" when timeouts are granted so late.

I'd guess because he is not a psycho?

I've seen several late time outs called during pitches this year, just with Boston. I am always annoyed when the ump grants time to a batter while pitcher is in his windup. Finnegan didn't even complain. I would have walked up to the ump and had him explain how the batter has the right to call time while I'm in my windup!

Good thing the ump just lobbed that ball. Some umps whip the ball to the pitcher, so I can't imagine how things would have gone if he'd done that. Clearly Finnegan was upset though. It looked to me like it hit him directly on his pitching forearm, but the announcer said it hit him square on the dome.

Wasn't that one of the things they were going to clean up in the pace of play rules? I could be wrong but agree it's crap. I understand doing though if it's allowed

Villar was moving, based on how far he slid:

Nice hustle right there. I wonder how many MLB shortstops would have missed that one?
