This was an awful call. Literally our Friday night play was more of a "Runner's interference" than this.

I still think it shoulda been called in our game. Just because of the times I have seen it called in Omaha 2 years in a row just because the runner had both feet on the left side of the foul line.

It was 1000% runners interference.

Add it to the list of Bama screw jobs over the years. Patrick Peterson's foot, etc.

Judge: In the case of The People vs. Louisiana Man, has the jury from Birmingham reached a verdict?

Foreman: We hayve yer honnur.

I wonder if our play wasn’t called as interference based on the angle of throw Milazo had to Jones. By the book, its interference, but the runner wasn’t directly in between Jones and Milano and inside the base line. I wonder if that fact influenced the no interference call.

Absolutely no doubt about it.

There are few example more instructive regarding the intent of the rule.

The runner OBVIOUSLY ran OUTSIDE the SPECIFIED lane in order to make the catcher alter his normal throw to first base.

Just because the catcher COULD have made a decent throw doesn't overrule the initial FACT that the runner was in ILLEGAL territory.

Same thing as a rule about calling a strike on a batter who is actually trying to avoid getting hit by a pitch inside. They make no distinction between that and a real attempted swing at a ball. The rule says "if the bat crosses the plate, it is a strike - regardless of where the ball really is." i.e a really bad pitch gets recorded as a strike, because the batter violated some technicality in a rule.

If they are gonna enforce that one technically, then the rule about the runner being in the proper lane should be enforced just as strictly, especially since it was the runner's INTENT to violate the rule, whereas in the batter instance, the batter is just awkwardly responding to a bad pitch.

NCAA Rule 7, Section 11 (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

what floors me is they went to review and it took Birmingham all of 2 seconds to come back and say no interference
Did they even look at the replay?

runner interference


Because it was not reviewed by SEC commissioner's review team in Birmingham,Ala

Need to fire Commissioner Stanky and move to neutral city and not have an Ala alumnus as commissioner

To think we are a dropped third strike and missed interference call from being basically in the postseason right now

The LSU call was badly blown. The call in the clip showed the runner almost in the center of the baseline, unlike the Alabama runner. The Bama runner was 2 feet plus farther to the left than the guy in the clip. The throws to first were similar in location except Jared didn’t reach as far as the other player.

They don’t enforce the rules if it means Alabama is going to lose. It’s always been that way especially in football. They’ve been lying and cheating since the 60’s and there is not a damned thing we can do about it except get called cry babies.

Birmingham and the umps were afraid to make the correct call after Alabama had walked it off and celebrated. They were never going to overturn a call in that situation in Tuscaloosa.

Although I probably should be more pissed off about it then I am, at the end of the day you had two outs and you walk two, hit another and fail to execute defensively on a rather routine play

Yep. Based off the rule, it was clearly interference, but the fielders screwed up so much stuff leading up to it, it’s hard to blame anyone else.

It seems like the entire season so far has been this way. Last year, we handled the rattlesnake, this year it bit us.
