College. Pfft.

/doesn't matter ~~had sex~~ stole base

How, as the batter, do you see that signaled for and not have a visible reaction?

FriarReb98		2012-05-27 11:30:44 AM

That's team effort right there. It takes an entire team's worth of completely ignorant Gators to pull that off.

I was thinking the same thing.

The Vandy runner on first base was actually the one daydreaming.

I would hesitate to call it a triple steal because he clearly was not on the same sheet of music as the other two runners.

Also notice that the hitter was batting a buck and a quarter and was down 0-1 with two outs. Great coaching call.

I doubt it was called, i would guess the runner on third just decide to do it. Watch the reactions of the other runners, the runner on second looks over, sees him running and breaks, the runner on first is even slower just advancing in the confusion (there is no way that should have been a close play, though even if he wasn't in on it).

If it were called, the batter was probably just signaled to take the pitch and the coach just told the runner on third.

Well, as much as I'd love to say it shouldn't count, I won't be vocal about it since Vandy did it. Good job! Now if UGA had done it, I'd be screaming for an investigation into this debacle and the heads of the coaching staff for Florida on a stick.

As least he paid attention to the sign. I tried to steal home during a high school baseball game and the batter almost took my head off

I was expecting this to be from a Cubs game.

The announcer in question. Anyone have any idea what the last thing he said was?

And then, of course, that 0.125 batter hits a RBI single on the next pitch (I assume, anyway, certainly looked like it when the video cut off). Sometimes you just can't win.

I always paid attention to the signals given the runners when I played.

Looked like a double steal was called then the guy on first took advantage of the ensuing confusion to take second.

Hell yeah. Go Vandy.

Did 3 people steal a base? Then it was a triple steal, math isn't that hard even if it wasn't called.

That is probably the easiest steal of home I have ever seen, it wasn't even close and steals of home are the catchers fault.

"BUT THERE'S A GUY ON SECOND... HOW CAN I---

WHAT?!?
