Time Gunnar's triple

Gunnar Henderson triples (3) on a ground ball to right fielder Jo Adell. | 04/22/2024 | MLB.com

Do me a favor and time this, starting with contact until Gunnar hits 3B.   I've done it three times and came up with 10.73, 10.79 and 10.81 seconds.   Tell me what you get.   

So far as I'm aware, the fastest triples of the Statcast era were 10.75 seconds, by Bryan Buxton and Corbin Carroll.

Using the time stamps on the video and estimating between when time changes between 3 and 4 & 14 and 15 I get about 14.5 minus 3.4 for around 11.1. I did it real quick just one time, though.

Edit:  Just did it again more careful, estimated 14.2-3.4 for a 10.8. Of course might be wasted time if CoC is correct with his post below.

If you have the game on DVR, you can time it accurately to 0.03 seconds by the "clicks" method (I am assuming the MASN broadcasts are in 1080i).  Is it contact to touch at 3rd base?

Yes, but I don’t have it on DVR.

I was thinking the same thing. I remember someone mentioning that last year. 

If this is true, that is wild malpractice. Not that the MLB.com is a journalistic institution, but folks read/watch their production as the record of what actually happened in any given baseball game.

It's highlights.  It isn't meant to be used as a scouting tool.

Maybe they could put a disclaimer somewhere.

    • So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.
    • So thats because the extra space in the OF allows for more balls to fall in? If so, I don't really see an issue if its providing offense in a different way. 
    • I'm neutral on it. I don't like how the old dimensions played like a wiffle ball field. Both teams have to play on it and the O's do have two good OF's so in that sense it helps us. RHH will probably hate it so very few would ever sign in Baltimore unless they thought the O's were in World Series contention. If they put it in the middle ground then the dimensions become like every other park and Im not sure I want that. At least Camden Yards plays different. 
    • I agree with this.  It was a completely idiotic take to criticize the fans.  And Russo on MLB Network did as well.  Did those guys watch this team at all this year? They were under .500 for the last 88 games of the season.....the worst team in the AL East.  These were the home series they played over the last three months: Chicago Cubs (swept and outscored 21-2), Yankees (lost 2 of 3 and needed two Yankee errors to walk off the last one), San Diego (lost 2 of 3), Toronto (won 3 of 4), Washington (split 1 of 2), Boston (split 2 of 4), Houston (split 2 of 4), White Sox (won 2 of 3 but lost last one 8-1), Tampa (lost 2 of 3), San Fran (lost 2 of 3), Detroit (lost 2 of 3). What is that, 15 - 20 in their last 35 home games?  And then they top it off by losing to the Royals 1 - 0 in the first game?  So fans are supposed to be excited and encouraged by that stretch of baseball?   You want people to show up to games, play like the Padres. Don't have your prized prospects go bust, don't have your stars fall off a cliff, and learn how to play fundamental baseball instead of obsessing about each swing's potential exit velocity.
    • I agree and would add Cowser to that mix, since “we” aren’t sure if he becomes anything more than this iteration; I.e., good fielder with pop but lots of whiff. 
    • I'll dislike it if the last out is some 29/30 bat off of Mountcastle's bat. Of the two which is more likely to conquer the wall?
    • We'll like it if the last out is ever some 29/30 ball off Aaron Judge's bat.
