re: Yankees had a call in 1st inning as frustrating as catcher interference call.
Posted by Speedy G on 5/30/24 at 4:54 pm
He doesn’t need to make a mad dash or even hustle. But the ball is gonna come down somewhere around second base and if Soto is not on the bag when it does, there is a good chance he’s getting doubled off. He should be trying to get back to safety with time to spare.
I honestly think Soto was try...

[quote]What was he supposed to do?[/quote]
Return to the bag with some urgency. As you correctly noted, Soto is out if he is off the bag and gets tagged after the catch is made. So, getting back to the bag somewhat quickly is in his best interest. He put himself in the position of needing to make a...

I would argue that the runner could not have avoided the fielder in this situation, b/c of where the both were (primarily SS being behind the runner and not visible) and the flight of the batter ball, thus the runner did not fail to avoid him. ...

The applicable rule is 6.01(a)(10):
“It is interference by a batter or runner when…
“He fails to avoid a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball…”
The term “hinder” applies to other sub parts of 6.01(a), but not (10).
This was an NFL type call where common sense is completely ab...
