Running Lane Violation. No call.

[bossman72]

My opinion here:

1) Was the runner out of the lane? Yes
2) Was it a quality throw? Yes
3) Did the runner being out of the lane hinder F3's attempt to catch the ball? Yes.

I'm guessing #3 is what the debate is about. Just look at the body language of F3. Watch him "stretch away" from the runner as the ball comes in to avoid him (or see around him). Seems to me like the runner's position in the runner's lane had a direct effect on F3 being able to field the ball cleanly. The runner is already in the wrong here by being out of the lane. I'm not bailing him out.

My vote is for runner's lane interference.
