First Base Coach
Situation: R2, batter hits an easy ground ball to second but F4 throws the ball low and gets by the first baseman. The first base coach makes like a hockey goalie and sticks out his foot and stops the ball, picks it up and throws it to the pitcher.
The ball would have easily gone into DBT. I called time and left the runners on first and third. Did I make the right call and if not what should I have done? Didn't get any flack on the call and infact the offensive manager yelled across the diamond to give his coach hell!! |

Be careful, or some coach is going to figure out how to get all of his runners to score from your awards on every safe single.

By keeping the runners from advancing any farther, you have effectively penalized the offense for the offensive Rat's stupidity! Well done!

It didn't happen last night, but what would have happened if R2 tried to run home because of an assumed base award and the defense was able to tag him between 3rd and home. Even bigger question, how would you score the out: F4-offensive coach-F1-F2. |

With this sitch...what is the official rule though...I could see this happening...wouldn't you kill the play immediately and place the runners where they would've reached had the rat not stopped the ball...OR, if this is the first play by the offense and the runner had not safely reached 1B at the TOT that you'd place the runners on 2B and 3B?? since the coach intentionally stopping the ball qualifies as "dead ball territory"?? Just like if he threw the ball into the stands while making a play on BR at 1B is any of this accurate?? Just asking fellas...I don't have my RB's here w/ me today to consult...then would the FED/OBR rulings be the same in this sitch??

Why is this not considered interference and someone called out? This was a deliberate act prevented the defense from making a play on the ball.
