That was a bad throw by the catcher and a ticky-tack call

The throw should have been to the left side (inside part) of the bag.
Runner's feet were going down the line....
I understand the rule. His foot was a couple inches inside the line ... ok. He's out BUT -
The catcher's throw messed that play up.

Such a bullshite rule change. You’re literally taught to get in the line of the throw. They’re taking out all of the small things that matter and I hate it

That ball should have been throw inside the base line
It was thrown outside the base line
No way the 1B man could have caught that

Correck. We teach "INSIDE" all the way down to 10U.

I thought if the base runner is running within the baseline that if the ball hits the base runner it is called and error on the throw. What am I missing?

It was a BS letter of the law call. I do not like the rule that if a part of your foot is past the chalk its interference. As long as your foot is touching then it shouldn't be interference.

Rant logic. Perfectly called out is ticky tack.

It should never be interference if you're on the dirt. IMO.

there is a reason there is a second white line down the 1st base line just to the right of the base line.
this is the line the base runner is to take. being in the baseline is interference....
Ump made the correct call.....

That second white line is 3 feet outside of the square white thing you have to step on

Why is the bag inside the line if runner can’t be inside the line?

Baseball Rules:
EDIT: See Running Lane

Beginning halfway between home and first base, and ending at first base, there is a second chalk line to the right of the foul line. This second line and the part of the foul line it runs parallel to, form the running lane that defines the path in which a batter-runner must run as they are advancing to first base.

quote:You can’t touch the bag from the running lane and are allowed to leave it if not intentionally getting in the way of the throw.
The batter-runner is permitted to exit the three-foot lane by means of a step, stride, reach or slide in the immediate vicinity of first base for the sole purpose of touching first base.

99 percent of the time that works. It gives the runner a slight advantage. But if the runner gets hit… this is the correct call

I mean he's directly even with the bag! What a bs call!

I haven't checked for changes, but the rule used to be that the runner had to stay in FOUL TERRITORY (lane outlined by chalk line) in FOUL territory for the final 2/3 the distance to 1st base on any play was from 'behind the runner' on the way to 1st base. I found this out early in my career when I tried to run inside the line on a bunt down the first base line - (I 'thought' I had outsmarted the defense by my clever bunt = make it difficult for the catcher to make the throw) - Everybody made fun of me because I was 'so dumb' - but I never made that mistake again.
The runner was definitely "out" by that rule in this instance - only by a few feet tho - all he had to do was keep that last foot even 'on the baseline' to have been safe. But he was clearly inside fair territory - so 'out by the rule'

no - that is the boundary line - you have to be BETWEEN that line and the first base line right up until you get to the bag. You can only get out of that line as your last step before touching the bag.

As long as your foot is touching
it is the step BEFORE the 'touching' that has to be outside fair territory. The last 'step' in actually touching the bag is by definition in 'fair territory' -
the rule only applies to events "before" the touch.

then you are part of the problem
that is exactly CONTRADICTORY to the 'correct' thing to do.
I had that same thought when I was 18 also - but I learned quickly on the first time I tried to be 'smart' on the way to 1st following a bunt. Apparently I was the only one who did NOT know that - but that was back in the 50s.
People were a lot smarter then.
