I'm sure you guys who are friends with the MLU and MiLB and DIV 1 can expound on this if you haven't on plenty of other posts in the past.

Umpires don't see "ties" and then decide which ruling to choose from or base a call on how well or poorly a fielder played a ball. Umpires see a sequence of events and then rule on what happened first. THERE ARE NO TIES.

A) The OP mentioned that it was a RBI single, which means there was someone somewhere on a base.

B) Deep B is an infield position, not the outfield, which I just found out is called "The Pasture," or "E." So in "Deep B," U2 is in front of the fielders, so the batted ball is dead if it hits him.

Thanks, Steve. I completely missed the RBI mention...........

Sorry guys, I just realized by the confusion I forgot to mention in the Op there was R1 and R2.

Thank you.

You reported/interpreted that you "believe BigUmp56's point is that U2 in DEEP B may very likely be behind the fielders on this play."

BigUmp56 post looked like a question to me instead of an argument. Your "interpretation" was innacurate so why address BigUmp56 with your inaccurate interpretation?

I don't believe I posted anything as an argument.

If it turns out I misinterpreted BigUmpr56's post, I apology for my error. I was not looking for a fight, just an explanation.
