Bottom line ( not path), if the runner slides directly into a base, and doesn't go out of his/her way to initiate contact, then I have nothing.

On the other hand, "baseline" is used frequently, and not always as a synonym for "foul line". Specifically the definition of the infield fly, and rule 7.08(a) use "baseline" while referring to the spaces between 1B-2B and 2B-3B. Anyway, what's wrong with the word "baseline"? |

I think using the term "baseline" perpetuates the myth that a runner must run in a direct line between the bases. This especially holds true when applying 7.08(a) where it does say "baseline", but we as officials know it should be phrased as "basepath" to avoid confusion. Tim. |

OK, was the fielder 'located on the direct xxx between 1B and 2B?'. I'm getting at RPatrino's point, but I guess subtlety doesn't fly. Last edited by LMan; Sun May 06, 2007 at 09:57pm. |
