2nd time that gate has opened this year?

Yes, and if it hadn't there that right fielder would have flipped over it most likely.

It’s 1) on your list, not 2).

He was caught stealing because he was stealing second and went on first move. 
It’s not arguing semantics. Thinking that is the same as being “picked off” is a lack of understanding of what happened on that play. You are the one arguing semantics to act like what happened there is the same as getting caught leaning and tagged out diving back.

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."

This was a debate? I still play, poorly, and I co-sign your take. CS.
