It’s a terrible rule and a complete ump show to call that because he was 3 inches inside the line


Did we watch the same video? Both of his feet were inside the baseline by the time he reached the base.

That’s the right call I think. He established a running lane on the outside of the line, then he moved to the inside of the line out of his established running lane, then he made no attempt to avoid the fielder. That’s interference.

I’m getting this from having an umpire explain it to me as a coach when I was mad he called one of my players out

Basically once you start running you establish your running lane, it doesn’t technically have to be on the white line it’s wherever you establish as you are running to the base. If a fielder comes into your established line and hits you that’s interference on him. If you change your running lane and run into a fielder that’s interference on you. He clearly changed his running lane IMO

WUT?? = Maryland runner was clearly out.

What is your beef with this call??

You do know that a runner must run in the one yard wide path in foul territory when a play is being made behind him.

This runner was clearly in fair territory past the 1/3 mark - should have been called out with no controversy.

Aren’t you not supposed to run in a straight line?



You are supposed to run to the right of the foul line. I think this was called correctly.

I 'discovered' this rule when I was a teenager and finally came up against a real ump.

At first glance, I thought it was nothing, but if a call were to be made, it would lean more towards obstruction since blocking bag without possession of ball.

After watching a couple times, the runner never established himself inside the lane after the 45 ft line, therefore the contact is interference. He ran outside of the lane the whole way after 45 ft line.

It looks like a ridiculous call, but, the umpire did make the correct call.

I mean he was clearly on the wrong path. That’s what the extra line is for.

It just about looked like he was aiming inside on purpose, slightly altered his route to be in the way.

This is the board that didn't know how Reyzelman balked on Sunday so wouldn't expect them to know the rules.

Best fans in baseball.

Yep - final 60 feet to the bag you must be in foul territory until you touch first base. (only if the play is being made from behind you - I don't think it would ever be called if there was nothing happening behind you.)

There actually has to be some interference, obviously. If you are running outside of the lane, but the ball is caught there won't be a call like this.

hmmmmm - that is a new wrinkle for me. I thought you had to be in foul territory on the last 2/3 of the distance. I can see where your definition makes sense too. But I haven't taken notice of any changes in it for at least 70 years,

In the case that was explained to me the runner was running from 2nd to 3rd so it might be different running to first. I have heard the foul territory 2/3 rule as well but I think that’s more of a policy than an actual stated rule

Biggest play of the college season. Florida wanted a double play, turned the double play and the ump made a chicken shite call to send a runner back to third that Florida was conceding the run to. Likely cost us a national championship.

As an umpire of HS and college over the last 20 years and now just call HS (had college-level games Sat and Sunday for '22 kids playing at programs next year), the comments all across the board here are TigerdroppinGolden.
