Not in OBR. By rule. (Perhaps in FED, I don't know those baseball rules quite as well.)

OK, you ask for the softball ruling, and then continue to argue baseball?

I have no problem with the runner trying to get around the tag and if he could have done so and maintained the direction of the base path, I wouldn't even have thought about it. But that isn't what happened. The runner left the base path in a direction away from the plate to avoid the tag and that move carried him much farther than 3' off the base path.

Well, we will just call it differently, I guess. I would have no problem making that call with little sell.

The O's got you watching MLB, Mike?

My favorite team list always includes whoever is playing the Yankee$, but having to take 2 of 3 in Yankee $tadium is a tall order...

Both of my baseball responses were in answer to Big Slick, whom I thought was asking from a baseball perspective. He never mentioned "softball" or "speaking ASA" or something similar in his second post, so I thought he was still talking about the Yankees/O's game.

For ASA, RS #1 - Appeal and the procedure for live ball appeals. This can only happen in two different locations: first base (inclusive of the double first base) and home. If it happens at 2nd and 3rd, they would still be in jeopardy to be put out.

No, watching MNF and the games were on side-by-side TVs.

Nope, not a fan of any MLB team. When I was young, it was Philadelphia.......NO, not the A's, the Phillies.

Nah, that was in the 1800's. I'm not that old....well, not quite. The Quakers changed their name to the Phillies in 1890.

Thanks for this as the linked video is gone.

I agree, fantastic call by the umpire, and one that deserves to be highlighted in light of all the recent publicity bad calls have been getting.
