re: Someone explain to me how that is not interference

quote:

---

If Milazzo throws the ball at first base the runner is no where near the ball

Milazzo threw it horrifically right and the RUNNER STILL DIDNT GET IN THE WAY OF THE BALL

The runner didn’t interfere with the throw, the line is irrelevant

if /\ THIS /\ is anywhere near accurate - and from all that I have read so far, this is the image that is coming to my mind - then everyone blasting Jones for not catching the ball is just plain STUPID.

From the git-go on reading about this this morning, I assumed the ball was throw too far to the right of the first base bag - clearly making it IMPOSSIBLE to made a legal play by the first baseman.

Sounds like there are a bunch of IDIOTs claiming = "Jones should have used his 250 lb to mix it up with the runner"

/\ THAT /\ would have been even dumber than not bothering to touch 3rd base on the way to the plate.

good grief at the stupidity on this board
