Negative. I've been doing rec-level adult softball for nine years, mostly solo. The play I mentioned is the first time I've had that one.

Could you cite the ASA rule? While the runner clearly isn't out, I don't understand how the runner can be safe, either, if he/she never touches the bag.

I'd like some clarity on this, as well. I'm not presently seeing a difference.

Sure. 8-3-B:
Quote:
When a runner or batter-runner acquires the right to a base by touching it before being put out, the runner or batter-runner is entitled to hold that base until legally touching the next consecutive base or is forced to vacate it for a trailing runner. When a runner passes a base, the runner is considered to have touched that base. This also applies to awarded bases.

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.

Why wouldn't you verbal "PULL - SAFE"?
The opportunity is still there for a live ball appeal.

If everyone in their grandmother could see that the fielder was 5 feet off the base, I'm just going to call "safe."

I only verbalize "pulled foot" if it's not extremely obvious to everyone.

Sorry, I must have missed the part of the post that established this.

Well... if you're not out, you're safe, right?
