Carl Crawford Steals Home

[Chocolate Milk]

Did anyone catch this? It was pretty awesome. Sandlot style.

I luckily clicked to the game on EI about 2 seconds before he stole, and it was so glorious I jumped up and dropped the remote and sent the batteries flying.

Orlando Cabrera stole home the other night.

The pitch almost took his head off.

Wow, that was cool

It was pure luck that I happened to catch that highlight, because I haven't been watching a lot of baseball highlights this year...

I tuned in to the Angels and Dodgers game just as OC stole home of Billingsley. Poor Chad looked so lost.

Please, if your going to post a topic about something really cool (by the way I heard about this, just not the date). . Post a link, or atleast the date, time, teams, and inning it happened so we can actually see it to discuss it.

[CubsBullsBears]

Saw that on Baseball tonight. That was awesome!!

Hope that helps.

I like Cabrera's more because the pitcher didn't even throw the ball.

 

Both were awesome though.

[Balsa]

God that amazing. How does that even work? I mean, the runner can't really BEAT a fastball, does the pitcher just panic and mess up?

I liked Crawford's more, because he did it against a "veteran" in Jason Johnson. Plus, Crawford legitimately beat the throw him, so dude, he's like superfast.

Um...I posted a link to both plays.

It's mostly reading a slow windup, and being pretty fast. Both guys were halfway down the line before the ball was thrown (or not thrown).

Since the Cubs game was blacked out locally, I watched Tampa bay instead. Actually, I have been doing that a lot. :oops:

 

It was an exciting game because it was obvious that the Devil Rays really wanted to win. They still have a ways to go, but they have some players who are exciting to watch. I put Wigginton in that category; he has been getting some homers lately.

[CuseCubFan69]

It's one of the most exciting plays in baseball IMO...a straight steal of home.

[woodchip2153]

I tried stealing home in High School once. The third base coach let the batter know I was coming, but he still swung and fouled it off. I had it stolen too. I was just lucky when I slid I went underneath his bat otherwise he would have hit me with his swing. I was pissed, my one chance to steal home and the batter took it from me.

[cubfan1955]

I remember Leon Durham stealing home against STL I believe. And Rick Sutcliff although I believe Sutcliffs was the back end of a double steal.

[Derwood]

1) Johnson was pitching from a full stretch with no slide step

 

2) Johnson never looked at Crawford even once

 

3) Crawford was halfway down the line before Johnson started his slow delivery

[CubsBullsBears]

My boss told me that once when Dusty Baker was a player, his manager asked him to steal 2nd, 3rd, and home in the bottom of the 9th inning to win a game. He did it.
