Ah, right. I see.

I've got another question as well, completely unrelated to the Phillies. Did anyone see the Mariners game last night? We had a question about the play where the first baseman apparently didn't catch the ball, but the runner was ruled out. It was at the end of an inning. Can anyone explain the rule that was used for that out?

Sorry, this is the annual baseball fan thread, not the baseball rules forum. geeze...

Take yer baseball rules question over to them.

(Let me know what they say when you get your answer btw, I didn't see the game but can think of a number of ways this might happen.)

Not sure you ever heard the answer, but the ruling was "running lane interference," as the batter-runner did not have both feet within the running lane to first base and subsequently interfered with the first baseman's opportunity to make the play. The ball is dead, the runner is out, and other runners (if any) return if the interference is not the third out (as I think it was in this play).

Rule 6.05(k)

BTW, Shelley Duncan?

Looked like Mariano and Dice-K were equally bad yesterday.

Mets scored 5 in the first, 5 in the ninth and nothing in between. First time any team's done that in 50 years.
