I view RS13 as the typical Pete Rose/Ray Fosse All Star play at the plate. Players used to be able to do that. Now, even MLB has changed that rule.

This play was BR arriving a split second after F3 managed to field the ball. I am in the "wreck" camp on this one.

One of those plays that no matter how you rule, the "other team" is gonna hate you. :rolleyes:

I think you are being too stringent about the word "crash".
In the OP case, the BR collided with the fielder strongly enough to cause dropping the ball; which would be a "crash".

Other side of coin. If the fielder dropped the ball because of not having secure possession; then the BR impeded fielding a batted ball.

Either way, interference.

You say to-may'-toe; I say to-mah'-to.

I don't think your particular coin has 2 sides - both sides of your coin result in INT. Very fair! :rolleyes:
