Commentator is wrong about interference.

The rule is that its fair game so long as the runner does not make contact with the fielder or the ball (if the ball hasnt passed an infielder yet). So the runner could literally stand in front of the ball and wait until the last second to move as long as he doesnt make contact with the ball or fielder.
I’ve umpired high school ball and played college ball. You would think these announcers would know the rules.

Yea h the players to move through the runner to make a play.

Correct. The color guy saying “I just feel he hung back” so it should be called is BS. If the defender rushes the ball and gets run into it is then interference.

Yep. He is absolutely wrong

Yeah. They are as clueless as the umps who don't know what a balk is apparently.

Greg Olsen is an Auburn alum. It was the correct call, that’s why no one from Auburn was arguing. The missed balk though…

One of them was saying because he hung back it should not be called but the fielder should have moved up and made contact to get it called because he had no chance to make the play if he hung back.

The color guy has been pretty much clueless the whole series. He still calls Morgan, Jr,even though it clearly says III on his jersey.

I agree. The fielder CHOSE to yield to the base runner. That’s the fielder’s mistake for not knowing that he has the right of way on a batted ball.
I preach this to my infielders all the time. They need to play the ball as if the base runner is not even there. If the base runner gets in their way it will be ruled interference and they are out. But if the infielder yields to the base runner, no interference.

Just trying to make something out of nothing. It was painful to watch and listen to.

That’s just what the commentator said. He said that if the SS had charged the ball, and initiated contact, it would have been interference.

I watched it again this AM. That's what he said after a minute of saying it should have been interference. The a-hole was upset it wasn't called then backed off acknowledging that there was no interference b/c the runner didn't hit the ball or the fielder.

It is the same for a fielder as it is a base runner with defensive player not fielding the ball, has to be contact for interference. If the SS had kept charging, he almost surely would have made contact and got the call
