re: Someone explain to me how that is not interference

He was inside the line

IF the runner was in fair territory he should have been ruled out -

the runner MUST stay in foul territory - within a narrow lane defined by the lanes drawn in foul territory.

ANY play from 'behind the runner' going to first base, the runner MUST say in foul territory until he touches the bag.

Didn't see the play - but from the commentary I have read the above seems to me to be the situation.

it sounds like the throw to first base was to the right of the bag - if so - no way to legally make the play without being called for interference.

From all the commentary - it sounds like the runner may have interfered with the play IF he put one foot into fair territory in the last 1/3 of the path to first.
