6 run inning turns to 1 if you just step on first

Why does this keep getting taken down?

I wonder if he would have thrown that from his knees if his ankle wasn’t fucked

What a great baserunning clinic the Pads put on this inning. Amazing heads-up play from Manny

I see Roberts told them to throw at baserunners now /s

ESPN has obtained footage of Freddie Freeman throwing a baseball at Manny Machado

So honest question, I know Machado did it on purpose to limit the throwing lane, but is he allowed that far onto the grass? He seemed far. Heads up play by him nonetheless, led to a monster inning and a lot of gaffs by LA.

Absolute bullshit
I’m not saying it’s illegal. I’m saying it’s bullshit

Legal. Base line vs base path. I’m sure closecallsports will have a video on it soon

No base path if not avoiding tag lol, shitty play and id be angry if that hapened to my team but thats smart af

Oh shit I was just listening to the padres radio. This is as blatant as you can get how did they not challenge here.
Also why does everyone keep mentioning 3 feet like a tag is being attempted? Is that relevant here?
UndeadCaesar
So it’s legal because he’s not trying to avoid a tag? Sounds like a wild loophole I’ve never seen this before.

1000 IQ by Machado. That entire inning was thanks to this play.

Machado just making the playoffs his bitch

Dodger fans be like you’re not wrong, Machado, you’re just an asshole.

So many people still don’t know the base path rule. There is NO base path a runner has to stick to UNLESS a tag is being actively made, which wasn’t the case here. Manny made a smart baserunning decision completely within the rules.
Bottom line, Machado doesn’t have eyes on the back of his eyes, it’s up to Freeman to not hit him.

Dodgers: Alright, we’re throwing at Machado this game
Freeman: Bet

That’s just a smart play by Manny to know the rules well enough to know that he can get away with it.
But let’s be honest with ourselves. If he had done that against any of our teams we would all be big mad.
