re: It’s interference. With visual evidence and the rule

I’m sorry but if the 1st baseman and the runner make contact and the person has run inside the foul line…. It’s an out.

Holy shite. This is not the rule. The fielder can actually be called for obstruction in the scenario you provided.

Here is what the rule is about:

A batter runner who does not run in the running lane and interferes with the first baseman’s ability to field a throw will be called out for RLI. Beyond that, if contact is had, it has to be judged who initiated the contact, did the contact interfere with an additional play, was it malicious contact, etc. None of that had anything to do with RLI. Quit googling and try to get a better understanding of the rule book. I’d love to hear your interpretations on OBS.
