re: Someone explain to me how that is not interference

That screenshot is infuriating. The runner is nowhere near first base when Milazzo lets that ball go. Take your freaking time and make a routine throw.

Wait some dude said there was no “base path” but a “running lane”…..which is it?

Did the Alabama player actually interfere with Milazzo making a throw to first?
lol no. Milazzo was inside. Not only did he have room inside, he even had room outside. Know how I know? Because he threw it 4 feet wide to the outside. At no point was the runner between Milazzo and the target.

This suggests 2 lines right….stay with me…..what are they?
the foul line and a line that is 3 feet to the foul side of that line.
also commonly known as the "running lane"
quote:
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
the runner is clearly 100% INSIDE the foul line.
I don't know why the line on the foul territory side is not marked on Alabama's field, but that 3 foot distance still exists without that line being marked.
the runner is not allowed to step with either foot outside of either of those lines.

Are you serious? It’s not an opinion, there are lines on the field. The running lane is 3 feet wide on the foul side and extends halfway between home plate and first.

Got the official paragraph on that one because it sure does get overlooked a helluva lot at all levels of ball I watch.

Do you really think the umps are going to end the celebration, call the out and end the game like that?
They have to get home alive you know.

Clearly that is not enforced 100% of the time….if that is a written rule.
It’s not even close to 100% actually.

Or they could make the call theyve been making for the last 2 years in that situation. Bama doesnt have a rabid fanbase

The two lines to the right of him that he’s clearly not inside.

Yep, that picture right there, boom. Thats it. For some reason this fanbase cant accept that it can be a horrendous play by lsu and a horrendous call by the umps

You are still wrong

About what?
Posted on 5/10/24 at 9:58 pm to JJ27
It’s a letter of law vs intent of law situation there and can go either way…..if you watch a lot of baseball you’ve seen that not called more than it’s called most likely.
Now somebody said earlier he was on the infield grass at one point which makes it a more egregious no call…..but based on that still shot even though by letter of law it could be called it should surprise no one that it’s not.

the runner lane is painted halfway to first base in foul territory, you are required to enter that. He never did but straddled the line with his right foot a few steps. The rule DOES NOT state if the throw has to be good or not.
TEXT BOOK runner lane violation
Florida vs LSU in the WS last year has an even closer call get called last year in Omaha on floriday.

The actual rule
Being outside the line does not make it interference…..
quote:
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

One thing I would like is to have umpire press conferences where that home plate ump has to speak directly to the media/world on his reason for making or not making that call……I’d be all for that.

Nobody is calling interference on a runner when the fielder is more than halfway to the mound
The fans calling for this would jump off a bridge if this was called against us

There is a running lane however
quote:

rather than an opinion, I will once again copy and base from the ACTUAL RULEBOOK
in between the baseline and a line 3' to the foul side of the baseline
here, I circled that line for you on the diagram of a baseball field found in the official NCAA rule book
stepping to the outside of either of those 2 lines (even if with only 1 foot) is by definition outside of the running lane
quote:
Note 2: The batter-runner is considered outside this 3-foot lane if either foot is outside either line.
here is the only exception to that rule (none of which apply to this particular instance)
quote:
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. They may exit the running lane on their last stride or step if they have been running legally within the running lane up to that point.
