Why is that a bad call? He was running in fair territory and interfered with the

It is a textbook call, the problem is the textbook!

That’s a different conversation.

garyfan

I completely disagree with you

Because that isn't the rule. You don't have to run in foul territory. LOL

shimmy

10/29/19 8:49pm

Why'd you delete your post once the replay showed him running down the middle of the bag?

shimmy

10/29/19 8:50pm

The post I deleted simply asked for people to explain the logic.

garyfan

10/29/19 8:51pm

The logic: people thumbed down because you were wrong.

shimmy

10/29/19 8:54pm

Correction: Because they don’t know/understand the rule.

garyfan

10/29/19 8:55pm

You inferred he can't be in fair territory at the bag. Please tell me more who misunderstands the rule.

shimmy

10/29/19 8:56pm

You inferred that, but I didn’t say or imply that.

garyfan

10/29/19 9:01pm

This. I guess everyone needs to run on the right side of the base path . . .

TBabyCougs

10/29/19 8:50pm

But you can’t run where he ran. They draw a running lane for a reason.

garyfan

10/29/19 8:50pm

LOL. You can run 4 feet to the inside of the bag as long as you don't interfere.

shimmy

10/29/19 8:53pm

Right. But then you run the risk of interfering. Which he did. It’s the rule.

garyfan

10/29/19 8:55pm

Correct, but that wasn't interfence, hence the thumbs down. You get the middle of the bag. You don't have to be in foul

shimmy

10/29/19 8:56pm

You don’t get the middle of the bag from whatever angle you please.

garyfan

10/29/19 9:02pm

Yeah like a straight one . . .

TBabyCougs

10/29/19 9:03pm

Straight but in fair territory the whole way? Doesn’t work.

garyfan

10/29/19 9:06pm

Sure does. Go read shimmy's post that has the official rule. Sorry you're wrong

TBabyCougs

10/29/19 9:07pm

His post confirms what I’m saying.

garyfan

10/29/19 9:21pm

Shimmy, the rule is obstruction on the runner

Busiturtle

10/29/19 8:52pm

Oh wow, really? Can they run past the bag as well at first? Thanks for explaining to me the most obvious thing and then

shimmy

10/29/19 8:54pm

What are you disputing?

Busiturtle

10/29/19 8:59pm

You don't have to be in foul territory all the way to the bag. That is the rule and the way it's been forever.

shimmy

10/29/19 9:01pm

A batter/runner risks interference by running a outside the lines

Bases are in fair territory.

Zak

That doesn’t mean runner can run anywhere.

TBabyCougs

10/29/19 8:51pm

like on the dirt with a direct path up the line?

Zak

10/29/19 8:51pm

Yeah, I don’t think you can do that, by rule.

garyfan

10/29/19 8:52pm

you 100% can. You get the bag at that last step which is when the ball got there. If he was 3 steps toward home

shimmy

10/29/19 9:00pm

LOL. He was in fair territory the whole way.

garyfan

10/29/19 9:03pm

Yes you can. You can run into the outfield. If the defense is attempting to make a play on your or if you are impeding

shimmy

10/29/19 8:58pm

He's in the very middle of the bag when the ball hits him.

Corn Pop

10/29/19 8:50pm

He is allowed to run in fair territory as long as his path from the box to 1st is

You are arguing logic, this baseball rule is illogical
