No, that is called inserting yourself into a game because you do not have a clear understanding of the rule and its meaning. I am talking in general and not directing it to you Manny.

The rules allow the runner, to run whereever they feel like, unless there are conditions restricting that, such as a fielder with possesion and waiting to make a tag or RLI at first.

Now , your allowed to make a judgement about whatever you feel like but, your career as an official may be shortlived if you were to make and inteference call for this situation.
