ONLY way that scenario works is if man is doubled off 2B..but you say only one on.

If he had taken it on a hop and stepped on 2B and thrown to 1B it would not have been ‘unassisted’.

You sure runners were not on 1st and 2nd?

Like I say ONLY way that ‘scenario’ works.

I know! That's what I don't get!

Yes, it was the Pirates' first inning, their first two batters. The lead-off man was walked, then the second batter hit into this "unassisted double play" at second!

It works if the baserunne4r was moving with the pitch qned the second batter lined out to the second baseman. Line out, tag out. DP 4U.

Below the play by play transcript from the Card/Pirate game.

2.Travis Snider lines into an unassisted double play, shortstop Jhonny Peralta. Starling Marte doubled off 1st.

3.Andrew McCutchen pops out to second baseman Kolten Wong.

ONLY way that works is if the SS was able to pursue the runner back and tag him. That would make the unassisted DP with the runner being 'doubled' off first.

Or even the 'unlikely' event that he BEAT the runner back to first.....THAT would be hot dogging it....
