Twins/Mariners Ichiro play at 1B
Anybody see the play today where Ichiro hits a high-hopper to F3...who attempts a tag of Ichiro as he runs to 1B...F3 misses the tag, Ichiro arches to the right of 1B, passes 1B, then attempts to dive back to 1B on the RF side of 1BL extended. Ichiro was tagged out on his dive attempt back to the base.
While Ichiro was tagged out on the play...what else did anybody else see on this play if anything?
1. Could F3 have simply tagged 1B and Ichiro would've been out assuming the tag beat the touch?
2. Could Ichiro have been ruled out for running out of his base path to 1B?
3. Who's call would that be? PU or U1?
I'm still looking for a video clip...others feel free to post the video clip if you find it.
Thanks!!!
