Not quite like that play.
Seemed like more of a pickoff/throwing mistake to me.
I completely forgot that Nyjer was with the Brewers.Does he not start anymore?
So how would you enter that into the score book? TM2 for throwing mistake by the catcher?
A baserunner is "picked off" base when that runner takes a lead off his base and the pitcher (or catcher) makes a quick throw to a fielder manning that base, resulting in the runner being tagged out. In this circumstance, the baserunner is not considered to have been caught stealing. However, if, during the play, the runner made any feint or motion toward the next base, then the runner is caught stealing, even if he is eventually caught trying to re-assume the base which he originally occupied.
DON'T SWING AT THE FIRST PITCH, IAN!
Well, I was going to say "pick-off" runner advances, but after reading this definition, I'm sure it's a steal now:
