With one out and one on, Angels batter Mike Trout hit a 2-2 cutter from Athletics pitcher Jesse...

what is Scioscia arguing? What the announcers are saying?  That Trout should be on third?  Doesn't make sense.  Fan INT is 2 bases, yes?

3.16:  The batter and runners shall be placed where in the umpire's judgement they would have been had the interference not occurred.  So, if the umpires thought he could have reached third, they could have placed him there

Believe we had old fan interference back in a post on 9/13/2013, but it is good to see all the different ones.

 

What if he just stood at the plate watching his magnificent home run when the fan interfered?????? Could he be adjudged to only get 1st base for the ole look at me, look at me, I'm the greatest, look at that shot would ya, dogging it???? Has that happened yet????

that's right, you're just burning up the forum with rule cites and corrections to people who miss a ruling .... you're all over it .......

I saw this live and thought with Trout's speed he probably would have been on third if not for the interference. I wondered if they were conservative with the award since it was an Angels fan that interfered.

1. Correcting an Incorrect Call

   Consistent with Official Baseball Rule 9.02©, if Replay Review results in a change to a call that had been made on the field, the Replay Official, to the extent feasible, shall exercise his discretion to place both Clubs in the same position they would have been in had the call on the field been correct. This shall include placing runners where he thinks those runners would have been at the conclusion of the reviewed play if the reviewed call had been correctly made in the first instance, disregarding interference or obstruction that may have occurred on the play, failures of runners to tag up based upon the initial call on the field, runners passing other runners, missing bases, etc.

   1. Placement of Runners.
      1. Replay Official's Responsibility. All decisions regarding the placement of base runners resulting from a call that is overturned pursuant to these Regulations shall be made by the Replay Official in accordance with the standard set forth in the Official Baseball Rules.
      2. Book Awards & Discretion. Unless directed otherwise by the Official Baseball Rules (for example, Official Baseball Rules 6.09(d)-(h), 7.04© Comment, and 7.05(f)), the Replay Official shall place the base runners on the bases he believes they would have reached had the reviewed call been made correctly. (For example, Official Baseball Rule 3.16 Comment states: "Batter and runners shall be placed where in the umpire's judgment they would have been had the interference not occurred." Rule 7.06(a) states: "[A]ll runners shall advance, without liability to be put out, to the bases they would have reached, in the umpire's judgment, if there had been no obstruction.") Any doubt regarding the placement of runners should be resolved in favor of the last base legally touched at the time of the challenged call. More than one base should not be awarded unless it is obvious to the Replay Official that a runner would have safely advanced beyond one base had the call been made correctly, or the Official Baseball Rules otherwise require such advancement.
      3. Factors to Consider. The Replay Official should consider several factors when placing the runners, including: (a) the depth of fly balls; (b) the speed of runners; © the location of runners on the field when the play occurred; (d) the number of outs at the time of the play; and (e) whether the incorrect call affected the subsequent behavior or conduct of the offensive or defensive players.
      4. Subsequent Calls and Outs. If the Replay Official determines that an incorrect call on the field had no effect on the subsequent behavior or conduct of the offensive or defensive players, the Replay Official shall change the incorrect call but let stand the on-field calls made on the runner(s) unaffected by the incorrect call. No runner may be declared out by the Replay Official if no play was attempted on, or call made regarding, that runner (e.g., umpire cannot assume that a fielder would have thrown a runner out).
      5. Scoring. The Replay Official shall determine whether base runners would have scored had the call been made correctly, and award or nullify runs scored by a Club where appropriate.
      6. Final and Binding. The decision of the Replay Official regarding the placement of runners, or runners being declared out, shall be final and binding on both Clubs. On-field personnel shall be ejected if they argue or otherwise challenge the placement of runners
