ozzy6900 You are all complaining about no INF call in a MLB game. I am not going to comment that the call was not made as MLB does what MLB does. I only hope that if you are officiating at the youth, HS or NCAA level, and see this happen, you come up right away with the INF call!

Keep in mind that the MLB Rule is no where near the NF or NCAA Rule. This would be a no-brainer at the NF and NCAA Rules set and philosophy as to what should and should not be called. Peace

Though, as I've said, I've seen MLB call INT most strictly of late.
SanDiegoSteve JRutledge wroteIt looks like he is breaking up more than a double play. 😉 Peace Yeah, it looks like he's breaking up a matched set of castinets!:p
JRutledge mbyron wroteNot true: the rules are similar; the enforcement is radically different. Though, as I've said, I've seen MLB call INT most strictly of late. I should have said the rules are not the same. You can have a runner do a lot more to take out a fielder in OBR than you can ever have in NF or NCAA. Even NCAA allows for a runner to go directly into a base and take out a runner if they are standing behind or on top of a base. And the fact you said enforcement is radically different, also illustrates my original point as well. Peace
waltjp What you can't tell from the photo is that Lee hopped up after his slide and complained that Iwamura should be ejected for not wearing a cup!

greymule Greymule, did you call him safe or out? The crybaby shortstop whined about interference, but I just told him, "Get back to short and play ball, ya pantywaist!"
David B JJ wroteGreymule, did you call him safe or out? 😀 JJ Now that's funny! Ah, the good ole days of baseball. Kids today don't have a clue - thanks David
Publius David B wroteKids today don't have a clue - Sure they do. They try all the time to play like that, and the adults won't let them.
LMan "when yall work that level or never make a mistake, then yall can critic.." oops, sorry, channeling someone else for a moment. 😮
