Check out this slick pickoff play.  Hey, if you're dumb enough to fall for it, you deserve to be tagged out at home.

Look, there is no excuse for falling for a trick like this.  If you're a baserunner on third base, and you think the pitcher throws the ball to the second baseman when he actually doesn't, you deserve to get thrown out. 

This is absolutely ridiculous.  A ball is hard to miss.  That white, round object flying through the air is easily identifiable.  Don't fall for the trick pickoff play, young baserunners.

By the way, I love this video.  It's very easy to follow the play, but the video breaks down the play so intensely.  It's completely unnecessary, but it's hilarious.  There is no need for the slow-motion breakdown of the play.  Somehow, the totally unnecessary slow-motion replay is awesome.
