Now YOU watch it. Jones is still able to make a play even after he bobbled it but the runner

interferes.


NO, NO, NO, NO...HE KICKED THE DAMN BALL. The intereference ceases at that point!!! Ask any umpire. The field umpire didn't see the kick or he wouldn't have called it. I swear that is the rule. Look it up.

What would have been the correct call, in your opinion? No interference called, two players lying motionless in the infield. What next?


Baseball invalids....Have you ever watched a homeplate collision when both guys are knocked senseless and the pitcher picks up the ball and tags the baserunner???? There you go.

even if it did go under his glove, 9 times out of 10 the ump would rule interference on that. it was bang/bang in real time

He clearly bobbled the ball before the collision as it looks like he misplayed it, but it is very likely that he saw the runner in his periphial. I think the ump had to default to interference on this one, since it was bang bang.

Rule 7.08(b) Comment: A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not.
If, however, the runner has contact with a legally occupied base when he hinders the fielder, he shall not be called out unless, in the umpire’s judgment, such hindrance, whether it occurs on fair or foul territory, is intentional. If the umpire declares the hindrance intentional, the following penalty shall apply: With less than two out, the umpire shall declare both the runner and batter out. With two out, the umpire shall declare the batter out.

The rule book states that even after a fielder boots a ball, if the ball is within reach, the fielder is still in the act of fielding. Exact wording is "within a step and a reach."
