If the ball is directly behind the plate it is on the foul side if 1st base line.

If I'm "interpreting" the posts I'm hearing ...... on the DK3, if the ball is on the 1st base side of the plate the throw from foul ground to the first baseman setting up on the orange bag on the 1st base side is legal.
If the ball rolls to the 3rd base side (not far) of the plate and the catcher picks the ball up, moves to foul ground on the 1st base side and throws to the first baseman on the orange bag, this "isn't" ok? Remember, in the OP I mentioned that this play was "intentional" and not an errant throw. |

KISS, F2 can pick up a D3K anywhere and set up foul and throw to F3 on the colored bag.

So, U3K ends up just behind the left-handed batter's box. F2 picks it up and throws to F3 who is straddling the firstbase line just short of the bags. BR, thinking the ball went to the first base side of foul territory, runs in fair territory to touch white. F2's throw hits the BR in the right shoulder. Do we call her out for a runner's lane violation or not? |

2 - BR should see if the fielder is in foul 3 - if fielder straddling the line before the ball, OBS 4 - throw hitting the BR, ITUJ 5 - not a violation if throw from 1st base foul ground 6 - all variations from the norm, ITUJ |

The best way to handle a double first base is to cut off the colored part and throw it in the garbage. :D

U3K, ball lands in RIGHT handed batters box in foul ground. Left handed batter running down to first, left handed catcher pics up the ball. F3 is straddling both orange and white bags. BR running toward orange. Ball is thrown to white. Ball arrives half second before BR. There's a collision, chest to chest, between F3 and BR.
Call? |

Assuming non-malicious, a warning that offense is responsible to avoid collisions. |
