Crushed that

Secretariat is my favorite racehorse and I know my facts about him

I wondered how Secretariat was allowed to get Laminitis? Someone wasn't watching him?

At my son's game, they called a balk as the pitcher pitched the ball. The batter put the ball in play, which resulted in a force out but gave the batting team the choice of the result of the play or the balk.

While the mechanics of how the call was made are clearly not ideal, it's ultimately irrelevant. If it was a balk then it should have been called and regardless of the way it was handled the proper outcome of the play would have been reached. Of course we can't see if it was actually a balk because the video only picks up after the balk would have already occurred.

Do you think you should add a few more copies of the called-back home run? I've only seen three or four so far.

Doesn’t matter that the kid was a senior and had never hit a home run, but the ump should make a balk call at the pitch, not minutes later.

Baseball? I was a high school Basketball Ref we had to make calls in split seconds not a minute or two after the fact and after conferring with other refs and or coaches. Most of my conferences with coaches were solved usually within one sentence if a conference with a coach or player took too long it might end up being a technical foul. I didn’t call very many technical fouls but most of the ones I called were because of too much “discussion” about the call from a player or coach.

Not a balk. He wasn’t calling anything. Until that hall left the park. Absolutely terrible! Should never umpire any where again. Looked like he had money in this game. And the poor kid that hit it out.

always in baseball haha!

I can’t believe it really bad call come on they just really screwed the pooch on this one

I’m not seeing a balk in this video. All I see is a pitch that ended in a home run. This video seems to me that a disgruntled parent didn’t like the outcome of the game.

Deceptive Video! Video cut to obscure Balk assessment. While a delayed call by BU may be due to inexperience, he did confer with the PU. Regardless of the delay, get the call right. In NFHS, the ball is dead immediately, even if the call came afterwards.

the ball is not dead with a balk (which I don' think it was anyway). The batting time can choose to not enforce the balk.

Why haven't you shown the full pitching motion? Did the pitcher balk? If so, then your issue isn't with the call at all, it's with the timing of the call.

I am just reading about this for the first time, and I thank you with all my heart for doing what you do. I am a very big animal advocate, and I volunteer at animal care and control. I rescue senior German Shepherd Dogs that been thrown away by their owners Who don’t want to spend $20 on medicine for arthritis. I understand animals that are not wanted anymore and it breaks my heart. I don’t live in a place where I can have a horse even though I have a fenced acre, but not zoned to have a horse. I bless you for what you’re doing. It’s so wonderful.

Hi Matt! Do you have videos with Tiffin making defensive plays?...specifically Jake or home plate? Thank you 😊 Rene' Shier

If it's HS rules....many summer leagues use MLB rules. You can always ask did u have a balk afterwards. Mlb umpires constantly get together and reverse! Get a clue

NFHS rule, balks are immediately dead. No farther action can take place.

Beautiful. People who say baseball is boring have never played it

If the umpire was calling a balk, why on earth did he turn to watch the ball go out of the park first? After that, he has a conference with the pitcher, and after that, finally confers with his partner. The fact that no one sees anything wrong with this speaks volumes. Sports has become corrupt from top to bottom. A sad reality.

Those are extras auditioning for the new Hitchcock film: The Birds: They're Back!

Top many horses are bred and born every year. 2 percent make it to the top....what happens to the rest?

Why do we give idiots trainers test that anyone can pass. Don't we only want and demand that every trainer strives to become a true horseman?

The video does not show the entire pitch, so it's impossible to know if it is a balk or not, and quite possible the audio might have picked up the umpire saying, "That's a balk". Granted, as an umpire I do it MUCH louder and with hands waiving high, since in high school rules (National Federation of High School, or NFHS), it's an immediate dead ball and I know I would be waiving it off and calling time immediately. As others have pointed out, in Official Baseball Rules (OBR which MLB plays but surprisingly many youth leagues adopt as well), it's a delayed call, meaning that you wait until the outcome of the play is over and take the play that benefits the offense.

My favorite horse 🐎❤

Both of my Thoroughbreds were racers. I had my first baby when I was 4 yrs old. I got my second baby when I was 10 yrs. old. After I stopped showing, they retired and became our pets. Both of my horses helped bring up my kids. I had my babies until they were both 40's and went to heaven. They were more than just my horses, they were part of my heart and soul.

So sad. I’ve watched Ferdinand vs Alysheba ‘85 Breeders Cup classic. Recently learned Ferdinand was sent to Japan 2002 to be destroyed to be ‘consumed’. Horrid. Applause to the Secretariat Center and other similar facilities.

As an owner of a ex race horse who nobody wanted, I'm proud to say she's now 30 and still going strong and living on her own place. Just love her

Thank you for what you do there. While they said here that it has his name but nothing to do with him they are wrong. Even now just his name helps fellow thoroughbred horses and those who love them. So thank you to all who run the center and The Great one who still has power in his name to help

I adopted two OTTBs. They are magnificent animals. They deserve a wonderful life, as do all of God's creatures.

All breeds of horses need a good life after being race or shown or being cop horses all breeds of horses need places go owers need Sit a side money help this is great place we need more like them and old friends..

W.E.C. Would be a good place to help

1) The video editing is subject to assume manipulation. 2) under 2022 rules for NFHS, a balk is a dead ball so the home run doesn't count. Umpires can call a balk late. That is specifically taught in umpire training. "Just because you saw it and didn't call it immediately doesn't mean it's not a balk. Call it when you see it, but late if you have to." Rules at the time of upload might have been different?

These horses are not happy. Only a Minority are. And the majority Yes, go to the sale. With not a happy ending

Vaca. 😔😔😔😔😔😔🤦🏿‍♀️

Tengo tres fotos de secretaria pregunto si tienen un valor

These beautiful animals deserve a good and caring life after they gave so many people pleasure 🐴

They go to the glue factory

As soon as the ump sees a balk, he calls balk, time is called, and the runners advance. The ump never gives a signal or anything, bad officiating and mechanics by the base ump.

Questionable video editing. What a shame.

this is just poor umpiring and lack of security/certainty in call. Yes, in NHFS a ball is DEAD on a balk, whereas MLB the homerun would override the dealyed dead ball balk call. Base ump had all tag responsibilities after HR so he never saw batter-runner touch second or third while he was talking to pitcher. Why does an umpire need to confirm with a pitcher about his non-call? Even if it was a balk, it was a non-call, let it stand as human error. No one was asking for the call, so if no one saw it but him (including his partner), move on and do not insert yourself into game!

He's moving like a tremendous machine

There is nothing like the sound of a no-doubter.

It's the one nasty, dark story that the Thoroughbred Industry never wants to talk about is the number of Thoroughbreds that are sent to slaughter. Of all the greedy breeders who breed hundreds of foals but only keep a small handful for their own racing. So what happens with all those unwanted now yearlings? Off to their first auction. But what if they aren't sold there? It's never revealed where all those yearlings go. All breeders should be capped at a certain number of foals that they can breed to help get the numbers of unwanted Thoroughbreds down. Breaks my heart.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’ve always wondered and worried what happens to a horse who can no longer bring in top dollar races. Bless you all..

Me encantan los caballos es mi pasión y más cuando estás con ellos. son inteligentes y en muchos casos bien cariñosos. Hay que estar con el animal y compartir junto a el o ella y verás como se adaptan a uno es una experiencia unica

There's something angelic about horses.

God bless you! I was raised around horses and pray God will bless me with enuf $$$ to help.
