Runner Interference HOU@CIN 8-8
Any one have an opinion on this. Bottom 6th less than two out, runner on 2B (Harris), Dunn hits grounder to SS right near 2B, Joe West rules Harris interfered with SS and points to him. Dunn subsequently thrown out at 1B.
Ruling, Harris out at 2B and Dunn safe at 1B, which seems to contradict 7:08B

Maybe you are concerned that B/R was awarded first on the interference? OBR doesn't explicitly say that B/R should be awarded first, (the closest rule is 6.08(d) -- B/R is awarded first if a fair ball strikes a runner, etc.) but that is the way it is called. You can see examples in the PBUC manual. The fact that Dunn was thrown out is moot -- the ball was already dead.
Or you can infer this result since the ball is dead at the moment of interference, B/R has ended his time at bat, isn't out, and needs somewhere to go. |

Pie in the Sky, Not a Bad Idea

OBR 3.15 NOTE, 7.08b and 7.11. Barring an appeal by either coach, yeah the crew got it right. If your a baseball purist, new MLBUM or PBUC interpretations probably do cover this ruling. Somebody forgot to print them. 1000 apologies. Attn _____________________, Add a new Rule 7.09(j) Comment that is relevant to interference. Move the current Rule 7.09(j) Comment on obstruction somewhere else. Expect the correction to the MLB Rules pdf.format in less than 3 years.
