Granted that isn't professional, but still the date and degree of hilarity is uncanny. Video in link with explanation for the baseball-oblivious incels.

i love the pirates play so much because he just forgot every rule in baseball at the same time after playing it his whole life
i genuinely cannot explain what happened to this man's brain in those 30 seconds, ive never seen a play like that even in HS softball

HAS to be baez, the way he realizes "oh shit I have to get safe" and then makes it all the way to SECOND somehow after the second baseman drops the ball

I have a friend at work that is like this. Doesn't even like baseball and only mentions the Pirates when he is bitching about the traffic their games cause. Wears nothing but Pirates' hats

I love baseball! And I love the Pirates! And I hate the Pirates more than anything!

I had $2k on the pirates against the Dodgers earlier this season, wanted to make things extra exciting since I had great seats to the game. Imagine my disgust as they lose after taking a five run lead.
Fricking pirates.

the MLB play is infinitely worse because these are professionals getting paid a lot of money and should understand T-BALL LEVEL SHIT. TOUCH FRICKING 1ST BASE, R-SLUR. DON'T CHASE THE RUNNER BACK TO HOME.
i mean that HS catcher, and everyone that's not the 2nd baseman, should get beat up every single day by the rest of the school but still.

The amount of times a professional baseball player tries to tag the runner instead of just touching the bag. Why are you giving the runner any power?! Drives me crazy.

I don't understand baseball. Would kindly appreciate if someone explained to me what the heck is happening in both plays

It doesn't happen often in pros, but if the catcher drops the ball on a 3rd strike you can steal 1st. Happens in LL all the darn time though. So in the HS shit the catcher fricked up and allowed the dude to steal 1,2,3 and home also allowing a kid who was already on base to come in. And thus lost because he was a dumbass.

Everyone is commenting on the pirates one but the kids losing the championship is funnier IMO
That fat 2nd baseman trying to helplessly yell at his teammates and looking for the ball, but the dude celebrating had put the ball in his pocket
Id love to have been on that team bus ride home

All you had to do, was step on the darn base!

No, the first runner needed tagged, he wasn't forced to advance. Should have thrown to 1st reflexively.

I'd kill myself if this happened to me. Nothing like letting your team down. Luckily I was a chad midfielder on the pitch who never let my team down

When do errors kick in? I always thought it was a bullshit rule to keep it in line with their neurodivergent statistics.

I’m not even sure how you’d notate the errors in the kids’ play
