Yankees had a call in 1st inning as frustrating as catcher interference call.

Bases loaded, infield pop up rule in effect. Soto tries to get back on the bag at second. The shortstop misjudges the ball and starts backing up and trips over Soto. The batters out and Soto is called out for interference. Announcers question where was Soto supposed to go. Boone questioned the call and was thrown out.

So the SS should just run into runner every time now. Just bee line it straight to him.

I didn't see the play, but it's the duty of the runner to evade the fielder.

Soto was on the bag when the infielder tripped over him.

Runner has to avoid contact with the defender and/or the ball or runner is out. Rule is old as dirt.
If he was on the bag. Then he should be protected.

Same thing happened on an infield fly in the 9th inning of the Orioles game last week. It was a 1 or 2 run game and they called the runner on 2nd out for interference as he was going back to the bag. Was the 3rd out and ended the game.

I looked at the play and Soto wasn't on the bag, he was going back to the bag and ran into the SS. But the flu ball was right over the bag an Soto was going on a straight line for the bag. I guess he could have slid into 2nd, but there was little doubt he was gonnà run into the SS.

If it was an infield fly, it's dumb as hell that interference is even a thing if a runner is returning to base. That's the whole point of the infield fly rule. To prevent dumb shite like that. The batter is already out whether or not the ss caught the ball or took it up his arse, how can you interfere on a ball you don't have to catch?

Well if catches the ball and a runner is off the base and gets tagged out might be one reason. Interfering took away that opportunity.
It would be nice to see the video of said play

It was obvious that Soto simply tried to step back on the end of the bag. The ball went toward him and contact was made after he stepped back on. Absolutely nowhere to go. The infield fly rule is there to protect the runner so that infielders don't intentionally drop the ball and get double and triple plays, but that is exactly what the rule didn't do. So they drop the ball and get a double play.
It would seem the runner at first should have been out regardless of the missed catch and the runner at second should have been protected. No harm, no foul for either side.

He wasn’t on the base yet when contact was made. Clean call not surprised yankee fans throwing a fit though

He was on the bag ahead of contact. The fielder initiated contact because he judged the ball poorly and moved into the runner. Where was the runner supposed to go?

So bc the fielder misplays the pop up then it becomes the runners fault?
Posted on 5/30/24 at 8:03 am to Big4SALTbro
Where is he supposed to go? He’s either on the bag or reaching his foot for the bag. Either way he has a right to the base.

I would have loved for Aaron Boone to have asked the umpire to please demonstrate how the base runner was supposed to avoid contact there. The fielder literally backpedaled over the base.
Umpires flat out refuse to use comon sense. They hide benind "the letter of the law" in the rule book without using the proper context.
The batter was out. No advantage was gained by either team. End of story.
No need for the umpire to show the world how smart he is and how much he understands the rule book. We don't care about the umpire's arrogance, we just want fair play. And it's not fair for the base runner to have to move off of the base at risk of being doubled off so that an infiedler can catch a popup from a batter who has already been called out due to the infield fly rule.

Instead of getting right back to the bag and out of the way, Soto does a half arse walk-jog and then at the last second sticks his leg behind the fielder, bodying him and tripping him. Good call.

The fielder had his eyes in the sky and did not break any rules. Soto saw where the fielder was going and stepped in the fielder’s way at the last second when Soto could have easily avoided doing that. Bunch of snowflakes in here looking for a reason to get mad when Soto had the opportunity and responsibility to avoid that situation.
