High School Baseball Fake Pick Off To 2nd Tricks Everyone
You know what we need more of in this world? Good 3rd base coaches. But you know what else we need more of? Youtube videos showing trick plays failing. Those videos never see the light of day. We see plenty of trick plays in football. Hidden ball tricks in baseball. Fake pick offs like this one. Stupid gimmick plays in basketball like the Barking Dog Play. Every time these kids all celebrate like they won the championship because they pulled off a trick. Well what about the times the quarterback tries to hide the ball and some linebacker doesn’t fall for it and lights him up. How about a video of a bunch of assholes diving around the field running all over the field pretending the ball is in the outfield and the kid on 3rd just stands there laughing at them like a bunch of dickheads?
I just wanna see one basketball video where a kid on defense steals the inbound pass and goes over to the “barking dog” kid and kicks him right in the dick. I hate that play more than anything in sports. If your coach tells you to run that play and you listen to him you’re both a coupla cocksuckers.
I thought if you spin off the rubber you need to throw it or its a balk. The only way you don’t need to throw it is if you step off (ie to third or if he spun off the rubber body facing forward not back). Pretty sure if he did this to 1st base and didn’t throw the ball it would’ve been a balk.
Literally just punt him in the ribs as hard as you can when hes on all fours. I can not stand that barking dog shit.
love the catcher just dropping the ball in the kids grillpiece n strolling back to the dugout
cripes… you must throw to only 1st while being on the rubber, you can fake to 2nd / 3rd while being on the rubber and its A OK, &i its impossible to balk while going to second, except if he drops the ball(while on the rubber) and it does not roll across the foul line, in that case if it rolls across the foul line it would be a BALL added to the count not a BALK, once he swings his free foot past the rubber he can either go 2 second or deliver a pitch to the batter..
1) That video fucking sucked. 2) I’d never heard of this barking dog play before. Well, thanks to YouTube I just found out what it is. Who falls for that shit? And how much of a squid do you need to be to be the guy who gets down and barks?
BALK!
Not a balk, he stepped off the rubber.
It’s not a balk. However The first kid to get up next inning for the team in the field is getting drilled for this shit.
That’s a balk all day every day. Impossible to balk going to 2d?? What fucking planet do you play baseball on? he’s gotta step DIRECTLY toward 2d with his non-pivot foot. He moved his pivot foot before going to second with his non-pivot foot.
I know this is a little advanced for, you know, a fucking sports site, but there ya go.
Seriously! Am I the only one who thinks this isn’t a big deal. Every team in baseball knows that play and prob. practices it once. The sad thing is the fact that the kid on 3rd and the 3rd base coach sent him. It’s not a great play.. it’s stupid base-running.
beowolf you and the rest of these posters are morons…stick to the beiber articles on the stool. the only base you are committed to throwing to (without stepping off) is 1st base. ever seen a rhp do a 3rd to 1st move? ahhhhh light bulb moment.
Here you go…wrong ball trick gone wrong. If I were a QB, I’d be pissed at my coach for calling the play – this wouldn’t help matters:

beowolf,
What planet do you live on that you can’t spin backside and fake a throw to 2nd? Someone should take a fungo to your head for that idiotic mess you typed!!!!
That’s a balk. You have to throw the ball and the fielder has to be covering the bag. Big time Balk.
^^^^^^^^Clueless
Beowulf.. u could not be any more wrong, when he swings his free foot past the rubber he can disengage by coming down with it behind the rubber, or he can pitch to the batter.. so when he swings his free foot past the rubber & doesnt deliver a pitcher and comes down with that foot behind the rubber he is now considered an infielder…. what you said here ” He moved his pivot foot before going to second with his non-pivot foot. ” is somewhat credible, because you cannot break your knee of your pivot foot leg & not deliver a pitch, BUT, seeing THAT from that camera / angle/ VCR type recording device they used to film this is IMPOSSIBLE
BALK… his back foot is still on the rubber when he fakes the throw to second.
Listen – I’m not going to debate this any further than this post – he fucking balked – look at the fucking slow-mo if you have to - he moves his pivot foot forward off the pitching plate BEFORE the non-pivot foot breaks the plane of the pitching plate. it’s got nothing to fucking do with the fake. It’s physically impossible for him to have gotten that front foot behind the rubber before he disengages his pivot foot. No way, no how. And no – he’s not considered an infielder UNLESS he steps off the BACK of the plate – THEN he’s an infielder. Christ. Someone learn the fucking rules please. I deal with this shit every night of the fucking week. I don’t know what the fuck those two umpires were looking at but not calling that bullshit move a balk is a travesty.
Not a balk. Rule 8.05. If he steps off the rubber and doesn’t make a motion naturally associated with his pitch, he can throw to any base he wants.
Beowolf,
I’d call you retarded but I don’t want to offend the retards!
Not a balk! End of story!
Not a Balk. only base you have to throw to is first base on a spin pick up. THAT’s IT.
@Beowolf – keep debating bc it’s making you look dumber and dumber lol I really hope you’re not an umpire because you’d be wrong every time. That is not a balk. ONLY base you have to throw to on a pick off, is when you do a spin move to first. THAT’S IT, PERIOD. you really need to learn the rules of baseball, you’re pretty stupid.
No one mentioned the fact that the team at bat shoulda known better (or at least the 3rd base coach) because there were 2 outs with the bases loaded. who throws a pick off to second with bases loaded and 2 outs risking a wild throw into centerfield… i mean i don’t know the score, but seemed like too high a risk to be a legit pickoff… but word, KFC, let’s see more trick plays go wrong!!
