If he ran within those lines until the bag, they would have a better case.
If he ran in the assigned lane there would have been no interference
The first baseman's glove was inside the field of play - so he would not have run into it.
That is why the rule is there - to prevent 'accidental' interference with fair play.
The runners action was INTENTIONAL - he doesn't normally run inside the field of play of the way to first base, and if he does it is right down the foul line.
There is NO excuse for being 2 feet inside the field of play - other than to interfere with the throw.

Should have read further

If the umpire determines that the baserunner has interfered with the player taking the throw at first base by running to the left of the foul line or to the right of the runner's lane, the baserunner can be called for interference.

I agree with this. By running inside the field of play whether on purpose or not it should be considered an intentional act to block the throw to first.
A seasoned player would know damn well what they were doing there, he was hoping for a throw similar to exactly what happened.
I can understand the argument on intent, but no one can argue his path to the base was inside the field of play. Therefore intent was assumed.

Damn there was some random melts in here last night. Bad look for OP, dreaux and tigerbait08 upon further review.

Well, to a man almost every Major League Baseball player on social media derived the call enthusiastically. But you know the game better than they do Connie Mack. It’s a judgement call and a bad one, you can run to the left or right of the line what matters is that you don’t interfere with the throw. He was directly down the line when the ball arrives, The shite throw should not cost the runner. And you guys are right, Astros fans are the worst.

this. run inside the baseline from home to first, nothing good will happen if you get hit with a ball or a glove/ball combo. you're out. that's why they paint the fricking box on the outside of the line.

The runners left foot hit the grass five times. He knew where he was running. I challenge anyone to show me any other runner in that game take five steps in the grass on the way to first base.

2. He would run that line every single time. There is no way he was trying to interfere, the ball was damn near on the pitchers mound, not right in front of the plate.'
3. None of that matters, he interfered as he was outside of the lane, he contacted the fielder in fair territory.

As a former 1B who has been LEVELED by a runner out of the base path, I had no issue with the interference call.
It’s player safety

Every RH batter does that. That is their direct path to 1B. That is why the rule is stupid (along with the base being outside the lane). Watch any IF hit or close groundout by a RH batter and you will see the same thing. Batters take the shortest route, they don't curl into the running lane.
There is a photo in this thread from last night showing Altuve even further inside the line. There is a video on mlb.com showing Turner take the same path on his first inning IF hit. I am sure Bregman did the same thing on his IF hit.
Watch more baseball.
