Sam Houston hits game-tying homer against LA Tech… Misses home plate

Tech ends up winning 5-4. This would have made it 5-5 in the 8th inning

Wow. Walker Janek appeared to have tied the game at 5-5 in 8th. But he never touched home plate. Bulldogs step on home, appeal and Janek is called out. #LATech

a home run is it. the ball isnt in play anymore. why is this a rule

Base runners are required to legally complete their base running duties for the run to count. How hard is it to step on home plate?

With what we have gone through in athletics the last few years, we deserve this gift.

George Brett can tell you one way it can happen.

Shouldn't even have to run the bases if you hit a home run imo.

In all major sanctions of baseball (and softball with the exception of homers in beer leagues) all awarded bases must be touched in their proper order, live ball or dead ball. And it’s been that way forever.
Properly appealed, runners can be declared out for missing a base.
On a difficulty scale of 1-10, for most of us, hitting a 90+ mph fastball out of a park is a 10. Touching home plate is a .00001 on that same scale.

The game is baseball - the bases are of central importance.
For all of the retardos in this thread - runs are recorded by an ordered procession around the bases, culminating with home plate. You are allowed to move across the bases, unimpeded, if you hit the ball out of play, but you still have to touch the bases. That's how runs are recorded. If you fail to follow these simple instructions an umpire will not signal to the scorekeeper that a run is to be recorded, and if you abandon the base paths, the fielding team can point this out and get you out.
If Reggie Bush runs a 4.3 and gets past the last defender, who runs a 4.4, should Bush have to continue on to the endzone or should we just say, nah it's a TD, stop running?
When guys are about to cross the goal line and they drop the ball before crossing, with no defenders around them, should we just give them the touchdown?
These touchdowns are as sure as a run being scored after hitting the ball over the fence, so why does the ball have to get into the endzone? Because that's how points are scored. If you don't complete the act that scores the points, you don't get the points.
Someone is going to say, 'but the ball is still in play so he has to keep running to the endzone' - yes, that's my point. He has to keep going in order to score those points even though logic dictates that it's a foregone conclusion that he'll get to the end zone. If all the other players fell down injured, would the NFL say, it's an automatic TD, or would you still have to put the ball in the endzone?
You have to touch all the bases in order for a run to be scored. That's the only way runs are scored. Even when the fielding team throws the ball out of the field of play with a runner on 3rd, that runner trots across home plate, because that's how runs are scored.

Excuse me for thinking it's absurd to take a run of the board for missing the plate by half an inch

It is a game of bases. A run scores anytime the home base is touched.
The game was invented without a fence, we still use the same rules for the most part. When you touch home, the run is recorded. When you leave the circle you are no longer in play. When there is doubt, the teammate generally push the player back to touch home just to be sure. Mistakes were made, asking for a rule change seems needless.
The HR trot is a cool part of the game, touching the base is not a difficult request.

If he just touched the plate, this wouldn’t even be an issue. It’s the rule. He knows the rules. We all know the rules. It’s his own fault and nobody else’s. He screwed up. It’s not the rule’s fault. It’s his fault. All he had to do was touch the plate. And he didn’t. Touching the plate is how runs are scored. Hitting the ball in and of itself doesn’t score runs, even if it’s hit over the fence. Touching the plate does. He had a free run to touch the plate, and he didn’t do it. This doesn’t require a rule change just because someone screwed up once in the history of baseball. The rule isn’t stupid. It’s logical. Touching the plate scores a run. It’s not too much to ask.

Correct. It's called a home RUN for a reason. To get your run you have to touch home plate. Not that hard.

It’s nonsensical
