Which reads:

"While over foul territory, a runner interferes with a defensive player attempting to field a batted ball"

To which I would ask, what runner? :D

Exactly! But it is the rule being relied on to declare the ball foul... :cool:

Guys, if you're the plate ump and DON'T call interference on that play you are in for a world of grief fromthe defensive manager.
Too many times things are "over thought"...it's interference plain and simple.

Don't care about the grief, but... where's the play?

Uhhh, no. It is neither plain, simple or interference. And if grief is your concern over a good call.......

Talk about beating a dead horse!!

Ya think?

I can't figure out to put those pics in there or I would. That one you have is better than mine anyway! LOL

It's the little "mountain" button. Two spaces to the right of the link with the red X through it.

Defensive coach discussion is easy "Coach that was a foul ball, can't have interference with a foul ball" not much to grieve over there.


BUT, I ask you what are you going to say to the offensive manager when he asks:
Coach: Blue was the ball in foul territory when the contact was made?
You: Yes (cause it was)
Coach: Then that is a foul ball you can't call my runner out on a foul ball.

Now we have a protestable situation misinterp of the rules. The defensive manager could never get you to a protest, at least not one that you would lose in this situation. Check all the rules references given in this thread to make yourself feel better that the by rule call is a foul ball.

I am guessing that you didn't read all seventy some odd posts in this thread before you made this post... :rolleyes:

It's taken 85+ posts to finally convince me that my original interpretation of this scenario is wrong.

I've now got a foul ball in the OP.

Are you sure about that? :eek:

Here we go again.....:cool:

Don't ya hate it when the season's over and there's nothing new to post about? :cool:
