I would presume MLB’s line of thinking on on this play, and the many other plays where this has happened (although yes he does go pretty far this time), is that the runners doesn’t have eyes in the back of his head and doesn’t know where the ball is. Are there any citations in the various manuals regarding this? only time I can remember it being called was for a head butt by I think a diamondbacks player. I’m sure someone will find that. Here’s another no call example https://www.closecallsports.com/2023/04/runners-interference-with-thrown-ball.html

anything here?

time stamp: 4:20 Anyone have obstruction on F2 here? Certainly not expected call but seems the runner clearly does a side step to avoid him.

What's the call? My deciding factor would be whether you judge the fall at :07-08 as a tag attempt. I think clearly in the first tag attempt they are not out of the basepath. (Assuming the softball rule is the same as the baseball rule here)

interesting 17 minute video about recent history of the strike zone and how’s it’s been applied. Balanced and stats based

Edit: didn’t see other replies. Already answered

im sure someone will find a better link. Curious if there would ever be a case where this is called obstruction instead of RLI.

debatable infield fly call, but looks to be pretty clearly (to me) as an intentional drop? U2 maybe shielded and could tell?

Good thinking, it's the second video in https://www.mlb.com/video/davis-multiple-throwing-errors?q=ContentTags %3D ["gamepk-634411"] Order by Timestamp DESC&cp=CMS_FIRST&p=0 After this, F3 threw the ball to F4 for some reason, and Bryant scampered back to the base before they could throw it back and appeal.

Just for another point of reference. April 20th, Mets v Cubs Bottom 5, Bryant groundball to third, U1 rules that F3 was off bag, and makes "Safe" and "off the bag" motions. B/R misses first on his way by, and they don't get the out. Haven't seen a video on twitter or anything but is maybe out there somewhere.

Related to this, has anyone had success with a particular brand or style of mask that reduces the amount of fogging in glasses? I understand you can pinch the nose, but the masks I've used have still become loose and fogging keeps happening.

automatic double, no difference between codes I believe

under high school rules (or others with no "in the act of fielding" provision), this would be obstruction, correct?
