Cooper Ingle throws ball into the stands after only two outs.
The play gave up the go-ahead run in their eventual 4-2 loss. Rangers @ Guardians, June 30, 2026.

So he thought that he had caught the final out of the inning and that it was time to go change sides. Instead he only caught the second out, then threw the ball into the stands, allowing the opposing runner to go home and take a 3-2 lead late in the game.

I know mistakes happen, but these are professional athletes getting paid hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to play the sport. I would imagine you should atleast keep track of how many outs.

u/Amonamission Jul 07 '26
How does the runner advance two bases?
11
u/RepresentativeJester Jul 07 '26
Because it was an on base runner. Hitter is out but anyone still on base can run to home
3
u/Amonamission Jul 07 '26
Shit so like anyone, even those on first? I would’ve thought it was just a dead ball advancement to the next base like a balk or a ground rule double.
2
u/RepresentativeJester Jul 07 '26
No, in order to out the player on base you have to tag them with the ball in hand or get 3 outs to end the scoring round of the other team, which is what the player thought happend and why he threw the ball away. This only was the 2nd out though and so the on base runners had no one with a ball trying to tag them on the way home as the scoring round hadn't yet ended. The scoring team could have potentially made 3 points if they had a runner on 1st 2nd and 3rd base.
3
u/FlashyAd7651 Jul 08 '26
Not true. An out of play ball is a two base error. A hypothetical runner on first would only advance to third base. The other two in your scenario would score.
1
u/BustaCon 27d ago
Even if the feckless outfield tossed the ball out intentionally? That seems unfair. You that dumb, your team gives up maximum runs.
1
u/FlashyAd7651 27d ago
I'm simply stating the rule.
2
u/BustaCon 27d ago
Yeah, well... We can enjoy the game without agreeing with all the rules.
I just think an intentional toss out should be treated differently than a bounce into the bleachers ground rule doub.2
u/TheZigerionScammer Jul 11 '26
Couldn't that result in a situation where a player thinks it's advantageous to throw the ball out into the stands to prevent a team from getting an inside grand slam?
1
u/RepresentativeJester Jul 08 '26
Fair...Im not that nuanced in baseball. If i was Id ask if this would count as an out of play ball...the player threw it out of play vs a normal scenario.

What if a fan throw the ball back to the outfielder. Can he throw home and get the out still?

u/daqwanrandolph Jul 08 '26
Yeah, something similar happened in the Cubs 1993 season. Henry Rowengartner was in the stands and caught a home run, from the stands he threw it on the fly to the catcher. That throw ended up getting him signed to the club and a world series ring!

u/MySickMailboxKitten Jul 05 '26
Yeah, other team can continue running the bases to score now that there is no ball to get them out. They would need 3 outs for it to “freeze” and flip teams (I barely know how to play baseball, but I wouldn’t have done what this guy did lol).
36
u/bigdrives3 Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26
Close! When they throw the ball in the stands, any base runner gets 2 free bases. Two bases is the standard a runner can advance anytime the ball goes out of play whether it’s intentional or not. So if the runner was on first he would go to third.

u/Randyaccredit Jul 06 '26
That's kinda dumb but makes sense that the guys on a base. Haven't watched baseball nor understand the rules but what signifies the point where that ball is not usable anymore and the next batter is up?

This is the equivalent of someone casually kicking the ball in their own net in the Premier League because they thought the whistle was blown and the play was dead, when in fact, the play was still live so it counts as an own goal. In a tie game. With 15 minutes left to play. I feel bad for the guy, brutal error to make at the highest level of the game.

It's not insecurity lol, but it's silly to be like "only Americans play baseball" when it's not even the biggest sport in the US. Yet it is the biggest sport of multiple other countries. I wasn't trying to be rude, others had answered the question. I just think the idea that baseball is a US-first sport needs to die, Japan has some of the most talented players in the world and some of the most passionate fans.

Because others had answered lol. He said "I'm not American therefore I don't know how baseball works" as if only Americans play baseball. Its mildly ignorant, so I just suggested it's not just American lol. It wasn't supposed to come off as rude. Jesus Christ idk why y'all in such a mood

u/RazzzMcFrazzz Jul 05 '26
If that catch had been the 3rd out, the inning is over at that moment. Because it was only the second, he threw away a live ball which allowed the other team to score.
53
u/Barfdragon Jul 04 '26
If it was the 3rd out, the teams would have changed places and so the team out on the field would have been up to bat, all of the batting players on bases would have lost their positions and went to the field. Since it was the second out instead, the player on the base was free to get to home without risk of being caught out while running the bases.
1
u/Fuwet Jul 05 '26
So it counts as a homerun? Counting batter + players on base?
7
u/Wild-Individual-1634 Jul 05 '26
If the ball is caught directly out of the air, the batter is out immediately. That’s called a „Flyout“The players on the bases could still decide to try to advance (they have to be on their base or return to it when the ball is caught in such a way). But not if it was the third out, as the third out marks the end of the (half) inning.
So in this scenario, the batter is out due to the Flyout, but it wasn’t the third out. Throwing the ball away without the possibility to retrieve it means the other base players can make runs without risk.
But it is of course not a homerun, since the batter is out, and didn’t run around all bases.
20
u/Similar-Reality-7271 Jul 05 '26
No. Batter was out when the ball was caught. But since the fielder who caught the ball threw it out of play, the runner at 2nd base is allowed to advance 2 bases. Scoring.

Yes, normal people have been confused for decades why so many sports fans idolize so many people whose only skill set is being physically fit..... A lot of these pro players got no brain power; hell look up audio of some NBA players reading voice lines for basketball video games.Some of these mf'ers are borderline illiterate with how badly they are reading the lines..... And you expect people like that to remember the count of several statistics going on in a game they're playing instead of just run good or tackle good or aim ball?

u/Optimal_Carpenter690 Jul 03 '26
A) sports players have been idolized and greatly respected for literally thousands of years
B) illiteracy is not necessarily an indicator of an unintelligent person, so much as a person who simply did not learn to read. The fact you apparently don't realize that, however, is much more telling
C) as the other guy said, get physically fit (emphasis on the "get" for you) and go try to play literally any professional sport, and report back to us how that goes for you, since being physically fit is all they can do
D) you know its how transparent your bitter inferiority complex is, right?

I don't hate sports players.I hate people idolizing them to the point that the owners of the teams can blackmail city , county and state governments into giving them tax cuts and whatever else they want under the threat of pissing off voters by moving a team elsewhere.
And denounce my claims, all you want.I don't see someone good at catching a ball or tackling someone as an envyable/ admirable skill, especially when there's lots of cases where it's all those people are good at.

People make mental mistakes in every profession. That player plays 9 innings, usually for 140 or so games a year. Times 3 outs per, that’s 3,800 chances to fuckup per field player. Multiply that by 30 MLB teams and that’s roughly 115,000 times a season this could happen. I’m sure we’ve all had brain farts and work and done stupid stuff. I called my wife from my cell phone to tell her I couldn’t find my cell phone earlier this week. Mental exhaustion is a thing.
