I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Ding Ding!

Now you're thinking along my line...

If F6 never touched 2B, how do you rule an attempt to break up the DP?

I was told "because the BR couldn't guess that F6 wouldn't touch 2B."

R1 is out for interference, not on the force. R1 did (in the umpire's judgment) attempt to break up the double play, and it doesn't matter whether or not R1 was retired on the double play attempt. ASA 8-7-J-EFFECT.

If this interference, in the judgment of the umpire, is an attempt to prevent a double play and occurs before the runner is put out, the immediate succeeding runner shall also be called out.

OK, 50% is better.
