Had to dump 3...or did I?

[Tim C]

I could use a little more information:

I am trying to picture where exactly F2 was located when the contact occurred.

I am trying to picture what the runner did at the plate . . . did he just run through the plate, did he slide, did he stop right on top of the plate?

I want to make sure that the game was played under National Federation rules.

If you can extrapolate just a little I can give you an opinion about the play.

Regards,

Right foot on plate, stretching down third base line.

Ran through the plate. If you can imagine when you plant your foot as you throw, your pivot foot comes up on the follow through. That is what the catcher did, without releasing the ball, as R3 was crossing the plate.

Yes, the league wanted the FPSR in effect.

Thanks!

Tommy,

The runner has two options when the FPSR is in effect. He must either execute a legal slide or get out of the way so as to not alter the play. Here the runner's actions altered the play and I think you missed the call.

Sorry Tim C, I don't know how to use the quote and respond to it individually.

Can someone tell me how?

IMO, I treated it and saw it as a play at 1st base. F2/F3 is pulled off the bag, there is a little contact, everyone doing what they should be. Question is, would home and first be treated the same way since you can run through both in this situation?

FPSR in EFFECT at SEC, THIRD BASES when the force is on, HOME plate also. FIRST base is a different beastie, cant comparee to others in this regard. A LITTLE DOG was VIOLATED here in this sich sorry to say.
