🚨ODD SCORING ALERT🚨
This is a weird play from tonight's @Cubs at @Mets game, and there is a weird scoring rule with it.
On a 3-2 count with one out, Michael Busch takes ball four, but Pete Crow-Armstrong was off running with the pitch. Despite it being ball four, the catcher threw down. Even though PCA is entitled to second base without penalty due to the walk, he touches the base, and then is off the base when tagged.
Because he touched the base and then left the safety of the base on the slide, he is liable to be put out. This goes down as a 2-6 "out advancing" at second base, and this is NOT a caught stealing.
The reason this is not a caught stealing is because of the walk, it is impossible to be credited with a stolen base of second, because PCA was forced. Since he cannot by rule be credited with a stolen base, he cannot be credited with a caught stealing either.
