Runners Lane Interference feedback

[Jglopez7]

See the video of my call of RLI. What do y’all think? 

 

[Mad Mike]

Looks like you made the correct call. Good job staying with the play and the throw!

[ZebraStripes]

Looks to be a good call.

[zoops]

Without a doubt.  Freeze the video at :06 - the kid's left foot is a good 2-3 feet in fair territory.

Correct call.

You're positioned at 1BLX, which gives you an angle for judging the BR's position going down the lane. The only change I'd recommend is to bust up the line yourself a bit to get closer to this call. Being closer will give you a better look at any additional action on this type of play (which didn't happen here, but often does on this kind of play).

The only reason to remain at the plate would be having a possible scoring play, which isn't the case here. So we basically treat it as a batted ball in the infield.

Good job. I wish I could have seen your mechanics. (I agree w/ the call)

Thanks for sharing.

I think his decision was predicated on where F2 had to go to get the ball, and potential concern for getting in his way of the throw?  Just my .02

GOOD / CORRECT call, and nice short explanation to the coach

hands down good call

Correct the blocked ball ended up inside. I came up slightly and straddled the foul line. Once I saw the runner change his path and get hit I made the call. While making my call I walked closer to the play, makes it look like I was closer than I actually was.  @Thunderheads coach said "im just gonna stand here because that's a good call unfortunately" we acted like we had a conversation then parted ways.

Although you made the absolute right call, I am more impressed that the announcer actually knew what the call was and got it right! Put that guy on ESPN!

[Jimurray]

The "safe" signal was clear. Have you or your chapter considered the right hand point instead? I also heard some confusing info that TASO wanted an open hand out to the side. I think that was mistakenly taken from what the BU might signal to help.

[Jglopez7]

Right hand would be a strike. We adopted it as a chapter the safe signal. If we are unsure, a quick glance at our BU, who may have a better view would provide an open hand (uncaught) closed fist (caught). This mechanic is easier since we do adopt it on regular catch or no catch calls on the field.  On close calls to avoid confusion, I do verbalize no catch or catch. This was pretty obvious due to F2 blocking the ball, a safe signal (no verbal) was enough I believe.

MLB/MiLB adopted the right arm point after the Eddings call: https://www.mlb.com/video/lester-makes-the-save/c-31874849

I have no problem with a safe signal. It's only point of confusion would be with an immediate tag by the catcher.
