Texas A&M @ Texas Series Thread
You guys are comical. Can either one of you provide a reference for the baseball statistic "picked off"...? Can you explain this video, discussing lefties/pickoffs and why the very first example provided is the runner going on 1st move and getting thrown out at second by the 1b...particularly why the expert states "Petit picked off David Wright...", "They'll go first move and you can pick them off that way"...?

Texas A&M @ Texas Series Thread
I played college ball. I understand what happened on the play. The pros in the booth, the guy who makes notations for the books, me, and everyone else who isn't a fucking nerd trying to one up people on the internet, refers to it as getting picked, even if he was going on first move, when the pitcher catches the break and goes to first. The official scoring is "caught stealing" and yes, he was attempting to steal by going first move. The pitcher caught it, picked to first, resulting in the 1B throwing the runner out at 2nd vs. the catcher doing it. Hence "they've got him picked."

h) The Official Scorer shall charge a runner as “caught stealing” if such runner is put out, or would have been put out by errorless play, when such runner (1) tries to steal; (2) is picked off a base and tries to advance (any move toward the next base shall be considered an attempt to advance); or (3) overslides while stealing. You're going to argue semantics/official scoring? "Is picked off a base..." is quite literally part of the official scoring for the "caught stealing" charge. He was picked off. He tried to advance. He was caught stealing. Because he was picked off and tried to advance. FFS.

Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
Baseball...football...we're always down one or two crucial pieces due to injury. Brooks, Witt, Baxter, Belyeu, Spencer... It's maddening. Yeah, we have depth and guys have stepped up; all the credit to those guys. But still.
