| Aug. 11, 2014 rightrj1 Men's 55 286 posts | Interference or not .....Runner on 1st one out…. ground ball hit to the 1st basemen…. 1st basemen throws to SS for force out…. runner that was on 1st veers out of the base line in order to not interfere with the throw from the SS…. 2nd basemen is running to cover 1st base for the double play and collides into forced runner who veered out of the baseline, throws comes to 1st base in which no one is there to cover. Because the 2nd basemen was running over to cover 1st , is it interference on the force out player for colliding with the 2nd basemen that was trying to cover 1st? or is it just a no call since it was accidental contact? Actually the 2nd basemen ran into the forced runner! |

It doesn't seem possible that if the man on first was trying to get to second that he could collide with a second baseman that was attempting to cover 1st on that play. I just can't see that happening unless the runner on 1st just took a few steps and then went right. |

| Aug. 18, 2014 STL0 Men's 60 230 posts | Thanks swing...I always knew I was smart :). After all I did finish grade school in 10 years. Runner should be out for being dumb. Just hit the deck if you don't want to run. |
