Appeal play and interference

[bam]

 

 

James,

 

First sitch: "Some guy" doesn't know what he's talking about. Score 3.

 

Second sitch": You are correct - BR is out, R3 returns to 3B.

 

JM

In the second situation, you have a B/R who interferes with a play after he's out. I've got B/R out on the play, and the runner closest to home out AKA R3

The OP doesn't say that, though.  The way it reads is a ball hit to F3, and BR interferes with him. 

 

But what BR interferes with makes a difference: 

 

Interferencewith F3's fielding of the batted ball for the play on BR at 1st?                             BR out and R3 returns

Interference with F3's throw home to get R3 with no play initially being made on BR?          BR and R3 out

Interference with F3's throw home to attempt putout of R3 after BR out at 1st?                    BR and R3 out

 

Need more complete information on the situation to make the proper ruling

I read the OP as a running lane violation after he had been retired.

But you are correct. The way the interference occurs matters.

 

 

I don't think you can have runner's lane interference, unless intentional, on a play at home plate from F3.  Unless I'm missing something in an earlier post.

R3. Ball hit to first base. f3 steps on first the nails the retired B/R running outside the running lane.

Wouldnt that be interference?

If he was within the runners lane is he protected if he's hit with the return throw
