First Protest of Year

[Roger Greene]

Good cal? Depends.

Was the runner still in the vicinity of the plate and was she attempting to touch the plate or had she left the vicinity of the plate and or entered dead ball territory?

The defensive player is not required to chase a runner who has passed the plate and is not still in the vicinity or the plate attempting to return. She may then just tag the plate and give Steve the "grunt" or "look."

If everbody is still rolling around in the dirt at the plate, you need a tag.
