re: First baseman had wrong foot on the bag restricting his ability to stretch for the throw

Once again, you did nothing to justify your position. The play clearly had a bad result, put in motion by a poor throw for which there was no way to salvage the play because of Jones positioning. I presented a viable solution which became impossible because he was landlocked with his left foot against the bag and the only alternative left was to jump across the base line across the runner. You did nothing to refute my position.

Because it’s simple I didn’t think I’d have to explain it. If Jones right leg is on first two things can happen. The first is if Milazzo’s throw is the exact same, then Jones can attempt to make a play and most likely have the same result. Only other result is he catches it and face plants into the runners knees. The second thing is if Milazzo makes the appropriate throw (towards the field side), he has a tougher grab to get the out going across his body. All that with very little reaction time.
