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

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.

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

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.

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...

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