A clothesline requires the person delivering the move to stand still and allow their opponent's momentum to provide the damage - think of it more as a stiff arm. Lariat is done running forward.

I thought that's what he was implying... but I disagree. I don't think a clothesline requires standing still. There are countless clotheslines that aren't done standing still. With that said maybe the term clothesline has just become overly used and it's muddled the definitions.
September 2, 20206 yr This was the greatest moment of my Marlins fandom since I didn’t follow baseball really before 2009.

Ya dick.
September 2, 20206 yr Just now, Michael said: Technical definition. Ya dick. I still disagree. A lariat is a variation of a clothesline. What Gaby did was still a clothesline.

September 2, 20206 yr So I'm gonna do it... I'm not letting this die... To me a lariat and a clothesline do not differ by running or not running as 95% of clotheslines are done with forward motion by the "attacker" and rarely, if ever, do you see a clothesline that is done by a person literally standing still and extending a stiff arm WITHOUT forward motion. It would be super unnatural and awkward to do a stiff arm without forward motion. You're supposed to make it look like you're striking the person, not like the person is running into an inanimate object. Therefore your supposed definition of a lariat having forward motion would make essentially every clothesline a lariat and that's not the case. A lariat is a type of clothesline but not every clothesline is a lariat. So what's a lariat then? I know of 2 guys who did a definitive lariat and the difference to me is the follow through, they hit the person and then continue their motion forward to the point of usually falling forward with the person, much like the gif a few posts above. So in that sense Gaby Sanchez did not do a lariat because he did not fall down with Morgan, he struck him and stayed vertical. Yes I know this is absolutely trivial stupidity but this is something "I know" so for the fun of it I'll take up this argument.

You're just being paid off by Big Clothesline to shill. ❤️

Imagine what Tommy Hutton’s reaction to Villar being called out on the stolen base attempt with the bag being blocked by a foot and the overturned call. Something like: ”When I was coming up we would slide feet first into the bag, and if the defender tried to block the bag with his foot, well let’s just say he might need a day or two to recover.” 😂
