re: Two feet to the left of the baseline is interference

You will never ever be on the line the entire run. It’s impossible

Hence why there are TWO lines.

He never was egregiously off the line and he was literally on the line far before reaching the bag

Please take your stupid frick takes elsewhere

Look at the angle. The runner is barely barely left of the line and no where in the vicinity of the throwing angle of Milazzo

Y’all really need to learn the rules

quote:

---

In running the last half of the distance from home base to first base, while the ball is being fielded to first base, he runs outside (to the right of) the three-foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line, and in the umpire's judgment in so doing interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base

Look at Milazzo. The runner is in no universe in his throwing lane

Milazzo had a massive throwing lane. He pushed the ball to the right of the bag

The runner didn’t interfere with anything

Irrelevant to the rule as it is supposed to be applied.

If we had won on the same play, I would say that the call went against the Gumps.

Again, it’s irrelevant, the Tigers didn’t deserve to win with such a shite performance.

Pitiful.

umm, no. The rule is literally written the runner has to interfere with the throw…. Simply being left of the lane is not interference

p. In running the last half of the distance from home plate to first base while the ball is being fielded to first base, the batter-runner runs outside the 3-foot restraining line or inside the foul line and, in so doing, interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base, except that the batter may go outside these lines to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball;

Note 1: 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.

Exception—The batter-runner is permitted to exit the three-foot running lane by means of a step, stride, reach or slide in the immediate vicinity of first base and for the sole purpose of touching first or attempting to avoid a tag. He may exit the running lane on his last stride or step if he has been running legally within the running lane up to that point.

Note 2: The batter-runner is considered outside this 3-foot lane if either foot is outside either line.

So you are saying with 100% confidence that Milazzos throwing lane was not affected at all by the runner being left of the chalk?
