re: Just a pic of Jameis having to be restrained by a cop tonight

I don't care about Jameis, I'm just discussing the baseball play.
Why do they have that silly little line 1/3 of the way between home and first base?
The runner has the outside of the first base line. That's what that little chalk line 1/3 of the way towards home is. The runner was running outside of the line where he was supposed to, then he veered not just inside the line, but at least one step into the grass inside of the first base line.
The batter is a TPOS. Do these teams play again? He's lucky John Cohen isn't coaching for Florida.

The rule is that you're suppose to give the fielder an opportunity to make the play. The fielder had a clear opportunity to make the play, he dropped the ball, so the runner doesn't have to run outside of the line. That's why sStewart wasn't ejected for that play, he was ejected for pushing and throwing his helmet.

Rule 6.05
A batter is out when—
(k) 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, in which case the ball is dead;
except that he may run outside (to the right of) the three-foot line or inside (to the
left of) the foul line to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball;
Rule 6.05(k) Comment: The lines marking the three-foot lane are a part of that lane and a
batter-runner is required to have both feet within the three-foot lane or on the lines marking the lane.The batter-runner is permitted to exit the three-foot lane by means of a step, stride, reach or slide in the
immediate vicinity of first base for the sole purpose of touching first base.

This play isn't as cut-and-dry as you are making it out to be.

If a pitcher bobbles a batted ball on the pitchers mound, can the hitter then charge him and run him over? After all, he already had an opportunity to make the play.

Hyperbole aside...you're right. The fielder doesn't stop being protected from contact with a runner just because he bobbles the ball...as long as it stays within a certain radius and he can still make a play on it.

Wow, you couldn't possibly be any more wrong.

Yep, I went to a ridiculous scenario, but the point is that there has to be limits, and I showed earlier where that limit lies: the baseline. Between home and first the baserunner has the outside of the foul line. In the video the batter clearly veered inside the line enough that he even had a foot in the grass before running over the fielder.

Right, if his intent was to just reach first base, all he had to do was step in the running lane in foul territory and run right around the pitcher to first base. He was clearly going for contact and it was pretty chicken shite.

Watched the video...how the hell was the announcer saying that it was no doubt gonna be scored a base hit? Seems like if anything, it'd be an error on the pitcher.
And what was the end result/call...anyone know?

To be fair if you are going to call jameis a tpos you at least call every player on both teams a tpos.

Looks like it was scored a single, according to the box score.

It looked like a good clean baseball play to me. Notice the runner didnt take issue, the pitcher didnt take issue, and the second baseman didnt take issue. The only player to react was the first baseman who went super bro and had to arch his back and cock his neck like billy badass.

Yeah, trucking someone is just a run of the mill clean baseball play.

Why would the runner take issue numbnuts? He fricking trucked the pitcher. What do you think he would do, fight himself after reaching first base?
