It’s not n opinion. They caulk the field for a reason. The runners lane is there for a reason.

Never ceases to amaze me how many umpires that do and dont know the rules that post here. Lets just stick to being pro coaches TD.

Wait some dude said there was no “base path” but a “running lane”…..which is it?


You obviously know absolutely shite about baseball yet you want to argue. There is a batter/runner lane from home to first base. Look at the fkn screenshots

Got the official paragraph on that one because it sure does get overlooked a helluva lot at all levels of ball I watch.

I believe it could have easily been called interference based on the rule.

That said, I’m not dying on this particular hill because we absolutely blew that game.

Not a single umpire anywhere ever is making that call unless it’s blatant.


That’s because most of the time the runner is thrown out at first anyway.

He was inside the line

IF the runner was in fair territory he should have been ruled out -

the runner MUST stay in foul territory - within a narrow lane defined by the lanes drawn in foul territory.

ANY play from 'behind the runner' going to first base, the runner MUST say in foul territory until he touches the bag.

Didn't see the play - but from the commentary I have read the above seems to me to be the situation.

it sounds like the throw to first base was to the right of the bag - if so - no way to legally make the play without being called for interference.

From all the commentary - it sounds like the runner may have interfered with the play IF he put one foot into fair territory in the last 1/3 of the path to first.

If Milazzo throws the ball at first base the runner is no where near the ball

Milazzo threw it horrifically right and the RUNNER STILL DIDNT GET IN THE WAY OF THE BALL

The runner didn’t interfere with the throw, the line is irrelevant

if /\ THIS /\ is anywhere near accurate - and from all that I have read so far, this is the image that is coming to my mind - then everyone blasting Jones for not catching the ball is just plain STUPID.

From the git-go on reading about this this morning, I assumed the ball was throw too far to the right of the first base bag - clearly making it IMPOSSIBLE to made a legal play by the first baseman.

Sounds like there are a bunch of IDIOTs claiming = "Jones should have used his 250 lb to mix it up with the runner"

/\ THAT /\ would have been even dumber than not bothering to touch 3rd base on the way to the plate.

good grief at the stupidity on this board

Very easy. It’s not interference if a runner is inside the baseline unless the ball hits him. The ball clearly did not hit him so it’s not interference just a terrible throw by the catcher on an unfortunate series of at bats by Alabama.

It's a shitty rule but that is textbook interference.



A lot of dumbasses in here don't know ball.

The throw sucked arse


Well no shite, the runner was inside the baseline blocking Milazzo's throwing path to Bear

quote:

the runner ran in a straight line


Yes, inside the foul line and stayed straight inside the line the whole way (where he's not suppposed to be)

Did Jay even make the argument tho? Seems like it would be a pretty easy overturn and TIGERS WIN TIGERS WIN

If the ball was right in front of the plate, you may could have an argument for interference. The ball was thrown from damn near the pitcher’s mound. Just a pussy arse throw.

That doesn't matter. If he is inside the baseline and interferes with the 1Bs attempt to catch the ball it's runners interference and he's out.

He was clearly obstructing the throwing lane to where Alex.had to throw behind the runner to make a play

horrible no call by the ump

edit, here is the rule SIAP

In college, runner's lane interference can be called if a batter-runner's failure to run within the runner's lane interferes with the thrower: "If the batter-runner is running illegally to first base and his being outside the lane alters the throw of a fielder, hinders or alters a fielder’s opportunity to field the throw, or the batter-runner is hit by the throw that has been made in an attempt to make a play, it shall be called interference and the batter-runner is to be called out" (NCAA 7-11-p AR 1).

bold part is the rule

I don't know how he altered the throw to be honest. Hell, he threw it poorly far to the right of the bag, when the easy play was throw it to the 2nd base side of the bag. Was an easy throw that he rushed, and it ended up costing us the game.

it's interesting that Bama doesn't have box for the runners lane near first base

It’s hilarious of many of you don’t know the rules. Then again what do I expect from the rant.

It was 100 percent interference regardless of your feelings on the game little rant babies

Bingo! It’s interference but can’t be overturned because the Gumps just spent so much money on that light show.

Another thing I noticed this morning is that it was actually a foul ball. That’s why Milazzo is slow to grab the ball and running with his hands up.

Ball bounces on the left side behind the plate then rolls forward. Even more proof that Birmingham didn’t take a look at the play

Edit: rewatched without sleep in my eyes, not foul but definitely interference

Imagine you're Alex, after busting your arse to get to the ball you look up and see this



It's perfectly clear why he yanked the throw. I guess he should have just hit the runner square in the back and not left it up to the Ump's/Birmingham's judgement or interpretation of the rule

not the same rule as MLB OR HIGH School. He doesn’t have to be able to catch it. Jones could have been worried about the collision and not be able to see.
