August 11, 200520 yr Lets see if Cape can get us a vid after the game. With the tying runner on 3rd,, MIKEY PULLED IT OFF! WOW! just AMAZING... Q: didnt he do it last year too? i seem to remember that...
August 11, 200520 yr Yes, he did it last year too. I was surprised that Tommy Hutton forgot about it.
August 11, 200520 yr I had never seen that before other than the movie "Rookie of the Year" That was great, I can't believe it.
August 11, 200520 yr I am watching the Arizona feed on mlbtv and the arizona annoucner goes "they just got caught with their pants down" after it.
August 11, 200520 yr Most amazing part is, that was such a huge spot. 1 run lead in the 8th inning, and it goes from fly ball ties it, to man on 1st 2 out, then a K to end the inning.

August 11, 200520 yr Author "Bench Lowell. " :banghead 898352[/snapback] HAHAHA... now all thats left is to see if its SC's #1
August 11, 200520 yr He just explained it all in the post game interview. He got the ball from Cabrera after the hit, looked at third, neither the runner nor the coach were paying attention, so he goes over, makes sure Todd Jones is not standing on the mound (is that a requirement?) and BAM. The cameras caught it all, unlike last time. If anyone TiVo'd that interview, he goes through it and they show it. Pretty cool.

Pretty cool. 898361[/snapback] The pitcher can't be on the rubber is what they said earlier. And nobody can call timeout.
August 11, 200520 yr Wow, props to Mikey... I love how no one noticed... I wonder how rare those actually are... I mean i've never seen one other then last year... but other then that... probably as rare as triple plays or something...
August 11, 200520 yr I'll say it again. I didn't know you could actually do that. I thought it was just a baseball movie cliche and that there had to be a rule against it or something. I love it. I was laughing for a good 5 minutes. Awesomeness
August 11, 200520 yr and John Kruk sums it up... "all you kids out there, don't ever take a step off 3rd base until you see the ball in the pitcher's hand!" :tv_happy and don't do drugs. :hat
August 11, 200520 yr The reason you rarely see it is because eveything has to come together perfectly, and usually something messes it up (pitcher going back to the mound, the runner or coach noticing, or time being called).
August 11, 200520 yr Just found this... Hidden Ball Trick Its now happened 232 times since 1876, and Mike Lowell did it last.
August 11, 200520 yr I stepped out when they did web gems .. either Lowell was #5 or he wasn't on it.
August 11, 200520 yr I think the pitcher only has to touch the dirt, not the rubber, in order for play to be ruled dead. At least that's what I heard on BBTN.
