I got nothing on this play.

This in not int. The runner is not obligated to move.

its OOO to try to sell anything on this play.

Let the catcher learn how to do a pick.

^What he said.^ Though somehow, I doubt we have heard the last of this.

The bottom line here is: did the runner do everything they were supposed to? Yes? We've got no out call on this one.

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.

Wow...this is a beginning of the season 10U rec ball question.

Why do you think runners are taught to leave 3rd towards home in foul territory and return in fair territory.

I will help you: Because it's legal!

BTW your post title s/b:F2 commits an error when trying to pick off R3 return to 3rd.

I always thought it was to keep from being hit by a fair batted ball which will result in an out.

That explains leading off in FOUL territory..
What is your explaination of returning in FAIR territory....

Yes that is correct going from 3rd to home, but you come back to 3rd in fair so the catcher does not have a straight shot to the bag or possibly even getting hit by the ball ensuring a safe return.

Inteference with a thrown ball has to be intentional.

Other than a (first base three foot) running lane violation, can you give an example and a rule cite?
BTW, I'd guess Canary is the F2 in question.

Speaking ASA

This is not a new rule. This changed for the 2007 season.

A runner moving out of the running lane and getting hit by a thrown ball.
A runner having fallen (in the case book or test) and getting hit as they stand up

I could go on with every little possibility. The key is the runner cannot do something which causes interference and it need not be intentional. This is why we say a runner who is retired cannot just go POOF at that second. They are where they belong as the play is continuing. Move away from that area in a direction other than to where s/he was heading and interfere and someone else is going to be called out.

Same with the batter. This is why batters are now instructed to not make any moves other than a natural recovery after a swing.

OK, still not completely shifted from HS.

Youre probably right; someone will always want to call something on everything
