Read the one that says a ball must pass between 1B and 3B. The rubber and 2B are just objects in the field of play. The ball must still go past these two bases in fair territory. They go into foul territory without passing these two bases, we have a foul ball.
Different story if touched by a player first. Ball is live and still in play.

What if a pop-up lands 1 foot over 1st and 2 inches in fair territory? You're pointing fair right?
What if the ball bounces backward because of backspin, over the base without touching it and then rolls into foul territory?
If you have fair ball here you have to have fair ball if it bounces foul off of 2nd, 2nd is clearly past 1st and 3rd.
I don't know the rule that applies but I've got fair ball until someone shows me the error of my ways.
