I think that’s how the catchers should be trained. If you think he’s in the way, it’s whiffle ball rules

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

Yes he challenged. Birmingham looked at it for all of 9 seconds and said there was no interference. One of the fastest reviews I’ve ever seen.

Well it was a judgement call that could have went either way…..if the throw would have been on line and it hit the runner as he was running into Jones it may have been called….with such a piss poor throw it’s easier to not call interference.


You think we are winning a judgement call against Alabama and "Birmingham"?

More ways for the SEC to prop up certain schools.

The SEC went on a big crusade about enforcing the rule about runners being inside the 1st baseline. They called that and reviewed plays like that countless times. It’s pretty unbelievable they didn’t enforce the rule since they’ve been so militant about it in the past. I hate to bring up the whole the SEC office is in Birmingham thing but..

Well no shite, the runner was inside the baseline blocking Milazzo's throwing path to Bear
Somehow he was able to throw to the right of Jones and still not hit the runner

If he throws right at jones or to the left it’s even further from the runner

He’s like 15 feet inside the line when he fields the ball and the runner maybe being a foot inside the line at the same time somehow blocked the throwing lane.

If the runner was blocking his throwing lane he would have either yanked it way left or hit the runner in the back. The ball crossed in front of the runner and went to the right of 1st. It’s ultimate proof the runner wasn’t close to his throwing lane

The ball took this path and never hit the runner. Explain how the runner interfered with the throw?

This, Should have been an easy out whether he as a foot inside the line or not. Milazzo's angle to first was not impeded at all as indicated by what you just described. It was not just a bad throw, it was a terrible throw.

Can you explain how this was interference?

As Morgan was fielding the ball, the runner inside the line ran into him, thus, interfering with the play. And in saying that a lot of people still think it should not have been called

This is misleading. At the time of this play, all of the announcers were saying they should change the rule, not that by the book it wasn’t interference. Nuanced point but important.




This pic shows the ball clearly leaving Millazo’s hand while the bama player is even further inside the baseline compared to the Florida player. The bama call was way way way more egregious. By the rules, it was interference. You can say it’s a stupid rule for sure, I may even agree with you, but you can’t say it doesn’t meet the current criteria for interference.

Even if the runner is running in the running lane, Milazzo still throws it behind. Him. By rule it is interference, but where he was running did not effect the play. Milazzo made a horrible throw and should not be rewarded with the interference call and be bailed out. Make the simple play. You are supposed to be the leader of the catchers group for a SEC team. Play like one

Just curious of your thoughts on this play that was called for interference.
