MLB adopts FED 1B running lane interp

[BretMan]

(Goofy FED rulings aside...)

Running outside the three-foot running lane isn't a rule violation.

Running outside the three-foot lane AND interfering with the fielder receiving the throw is.

Mental note to self...If I'm ever an F2 while Simply's working the plate and see a batter runner out of the running lane...toss the ball into centerfield! I'll automatically get the out, plus have the added bonus of halting the advance of any other runners on the interference call. It's the best of both worlds- and I won't have to do anything that might have even remotely had a chance to actually retire a runner.
