Second worst rule in baseball to the step balk. A play like that happened in San Francisco this week to the Mets, and Terry Collins is right, asking the batter-runner to stay in the baseline, with the bag in fair territory is a problem waiting to happen. A call like that helped the Angels in game five of the 2005 ALDS against the Yankees and probably cost the Yankees the series. Either have it like softball, with a separate bag in foul territory, or extend the bag into foul territory with replay available to help the umpires if the batted ball hit the first base bag.

And remember, the foul line is part of the running lane and it is entirely in fair territory. So if the left foot is on the line, there should be no great need to veer. Rita Plus it's 45 ft! Not too much to ask. Last edited by Rita C; Sat Aug 04, 2012 at 09:50pm. Reason: ps |

I thought you all might enjoy Scioscia's whine. He still thinks the ruling was incorrect. Rita |
