Late to this discussion but the MLB umps definitely had it right there

You’re not making sense.

The defense has no unfair advantage if the batter is exerting any effort

10/21/20 8:23pm

I disagree

This is correct and there is a rule to protect runners in exactly this case.

The umpire can call it dead if he wants. Hence the manager decision to go out and challenge.

I’m aware of that rule. But you said there is a rule to protect

Endocoug

There is. The umpire just blew it and didn’t use that rule. I have seen it many times

Apparently they disagree with you.

It’s called the “Intentional drop rule”. Rule 5.09(a)(12)

I have done this exact thing many times at shortstop on line drives and turned 2 (sometimes 3).There is actually a rule

He tagged the runner first. Since the force was on, first was not a safe bag for the runner. If he would have stepped on
