Good call. I was watching this on ESPN. man, is Sutcliffe clueless. Rambling on about U1 calling intentional interference...just clueless.

I was watching on MLB Network and Harold Reynolds tried to explain why the rule is so horrible and that he's fine because he was running on the foul line

This is proof of the other thread where everyone is thinks it SHOULD have been called and it wasn't (even though it was clear) ....

AND HERE......it's called ...........and it's not so clear

[JaxRolo]

Good call. Foot on the wrong side of the line. Easy call!

Why is it not clear? Replay shows the runner clearly on the inside.

show me where.  his right foot never leaves the line

[Thunderheads]

@Rolando:

Ok, ...technically, I'm wrong.  I'm going back to bed, good night!

 

That said, ...I'd never make that call on this sitch

 

Rule 6.05(k) Comment: The lines marking the three-foot lane are a part of that lane and a batter- runner is required to have both feet within the three-foot lane or on the lines marking the lane. The batter-runner is permitted to exit the three-foot lane by means of a step, stride, reach or slide in the immediate vicinity of first base for the sole purpose of touching first base.

Where in the rules does it say anything about the right foot?

In running the last half of the distance from home base to first base, while the ball is being fielded to first base, he runs outside (to the right of) the three-foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line, and in the umpire's judgment in so doing interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base, in which case the ball is dead; except that he may run outside (to the right of) the three foot line or inside (to the left of) the foul line to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball; Rule 6.05(k) Comment: The lines marking the three-foot lane are a part of that lane and a batter- runner is required to have both feet within the three-foot lane or on the lines marking the lane. The batter-runner is permitted to exit the three-foot lane by means of a step, stride, reach or slide in the immediate vicinity of first base for the sole purpose of touching first base.

If 1 or both feet are on the line or inside fair territory the BR can be called out for RLI

[GreyhoundAggie]

I agree. It's a good call. Tighter than most times, but still good. He was definitely inside the foul line. Barksdale signals it immediately.

[Haid D' Salaami]

I was just talking about guys needing to understand this rule....it's a tough rule.. but i love seeing the BU call this as well. 98% of people think this is just the PU calls.

FYI..Braksdale is signaling that the ball is Fair... not that the runner is in or out of the RL

No... you MUST HAVE BOTH FEET ON THE LINE OR INSIDE THE RUNNING LANE.

[Haid D' Salaami]

Here is a great tool for you guys.. as the PU when a BR is running down the line, say to your self inside, inside.. or outside, outside... it will help with your judgement of the call.

Incorrect. He was signalling to his partner on the RLI.

 

The ball was already fair because it hit the pitcher and bounded over to the line.

[grayhawk]

Haid, you are saying two things. First you said ON the line the BR can be called out for RLI. Then you said you must have both feet on the line or inside the running lane.

You were correct the second time.

dude.. there is no signal to the RLI.. if he thought there was RLI.. he would call it... then call time...

 

He WAS SIGNALING FAIR BALL.

[Haid D' Salaami]

I know what you saw... but it is just a signal to let everyone know it was fair. just like a no catch signal even though we know it was a no catch.. you still give it.

[Jimurray]

Don't you point and say "that's Interference"? Which is what I believe he did.
