Re: Brandon Phillips Double Steal
What a sweet play.
[ QUOTE ] hmmmm... There have been cases where a stolen base is not awarded because the defense allowed it to happen without a throw, ect... Maybe this is one of those? [/ QUOTE ] I'm no expert on the rules, but I think that "catcher indifference" or something like that means 2nd wasn't stolen. There was no attempt to stop the stolen base. 3rd was stolen though because of the throw. Just a guess on how it was scored if there was only 1 stolen base on the play. EDIT: I now see Cincy was down 0-7, so I think this is definitely a textbook case of "catcher indifference".

[ QUOTE ]
Pedroia went first to third on a cleanly fielded walk last night. [ QUOTE ] Pedroia tried to hustle the Red Sox into a scoring opportunity in the bottom of the inning. The rookie second baseman hit a one-out single and Ortiz followed with a walk. Catcher Ramon Hernandez took a couple of steps toward the mound after ball four and Pedroia never stopped running, moving all the way to third. [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] i had been waiting for something like this to happen forever with the shift on ortiz, so sweet

Re: Brandon Phillips Double Steal
also just because there is no throw doesn't mean defensive indifference. if it's a close game and you just get such a sick jump they know they can't get you, it's a steal. defensive indifference is when you're up like eight runs and stealing bases to pad your stats.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, which was the case (7-0, no throw). However, rereading the article it says it was scored as 2 steals, so maybe they decided the throw to 3rd cancels out the indifference.

There was no throw, and Pedroia stopped and then took off, beating Gomez to third.

The only thing similar that I've ever seen was this play, which is just as mind-blowing. May 21, "Koo Makes It Exciting" [/ QUOTE ] Is there video of his previous AB against Johnson? I think that one makes this video even better.
