      @@amonaco11 In this particular case, it's about "gaining distance". If you gain more distance toward home then you have to throw home.
      As a rule of thumb, imagine there are two 45 degree lines coming from the rubber so one line points toward the first base line and the other points toward the third base line. If your front foot lands in the area marked off by those imaginary lines, you've got to come home. If your foot lands outside that area, you have to throw to the base you're going toward.

    • @nacoran
      @nacoran 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think he is talking about the other end of it, when the batter is called for interference on the throw. My feeling is that as long as the batter stays in the batter's box and there is no obvious attempt to hit the catcher with a bat that the batter shouldn't be called for interference, and here's my reasoning. The batter can't be worried about where the catcher is when he swings and because he is swinging in most of these situations he is going to be off balance and vulnerable. The catcher isn't (and he's got all the gear). To me, as long as the batter stays in the box he should be safe. I know that's not how the rule currently reads but I think it's how the rule should read. (And technically, that's obstruction, not interference. Interference is when it's the catcher's fault.)

    The path down to first is a somewhat controversial one anyway in times like some of these videos. The runner is supposed to stay inside the two lines but when you get down to first the bag isn't even inside those lines so you basically have to step outside the lines to get to the bag.

    2nd play (BR knocking the ball out of F3's glove right as it's caught on the throw from F2 on the bunt). This is NOT interference.
    Yes the runner should be in the runner lane, but the runner is allowed to come out of that lane as they approach first base. If the ball had hit the runner in the back, you MIGHT have an Interference call. But F3 catches it, and the the IMPACT with the runner AS THE RUNNER IS TOUCHING FIRST BASE knocks the ball loose. That's not interference. That's just baseball.

      First base is itself inside the baseline. At what point is it ok to come back inside the baseline to actually step on the bag. I'm pretty sure I've seen announcers complain that a batter runner was inside the baseline, when he stepped inside in the same stride that he stepped on first base.

    @joemarshall4226 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The "batter runner must run in the lane" calls are the worst calls...there is so much variance on them. I think that the rule was put there so runners would nit interfere with any throws made by the catcher or pitcher when they pick up bunts or squibbers, or when the catcher tries to nail the runner at first after dropping a third strike. If a batter-runner hits a ball to the shortstop and runs outside the lane, no one notices that he has done it. Also, when a runner get really close to the bag, it's very difficult to stay in the lane. You'd have to tag first base with your left foot every time, which would slow you down. Remember when Chuck Knoblauch was miffed because the umpire didn't call interference on the batter runner in the World Series? I always thought Chuck was correct. You can't run outside the lane WHETHER THE BALL HITS YOU OR NOT, because the fielder doesn't have time to figure out if you are in the lane, and will try to throw AROUND you, which will make the throw go wild if you re not where you are supposed to be.

    GENERALLY SPEAKING, your average MLB announcer and baseball fan DO NOT know the rules.
    Here's an easy way to remember the difference between "interference" and "obstruction:"
    The OFFENSE interferes (EXCEPTION: Catcher's Interference).
    The DEFENSE obstructs (when not fielding a BATTED ball).
    A Runner's Lane Violation is easy. BOTH feet must in the runner's lane, not just one.

Even though the ball was knocked out of the fielder's hand, I would say runner's out because he has his foot and he would have tagged the runner anyways. But you might reply "but ____ the ball was knocked out his hand." And yes, if the ball gets knocked out of your hand the runner is safe. Although, I would call interference and place him at second.

      An illegal move by the pitcher with a runner on base. Usually, but not always, intended to mess up the baserunner. Examples in this video included throwing to first while stepping towards home, quick pitching rather than using the normal pitching motion, and stepping off the rubber too early during the pitch.
      On one of the plays, the announcer mentioned the bases being loaded. It does not matter if they are. Balk rules apply anytime there is someone on base, even if they are loaded.
      All runners advance one base. No ball or strike is called. If the ball it hit and all runners advance one base, then the balk does not count. If the ball is hit, but not all runners advance or the batter is put out, then the offense gets to decide whether they want the play to stand or if they want the runners advanced and the batter back at the plate.

Fielder is trying to make a play, runner is trying to not be part of one. Some of these "rules" are a joke. Miss the pitch on a 3rd strike and the runner gets a shot at first base? Wtf?!

    So does defense always have the right away for hit balls?

    On the Kershaw balk in the unclipped vid, the announcers actually get a little heated, one calls it a good move the other calls it cheating.

    Bruh the angles you show. I never unsubscribe but damn. I was really into that balk and insert next clip. Smh.

    If you watch closely at 5:43, you can see Greg Gibson, the home plate umpire, motioning to both players.
