Wrong ... pitcher fielded ball 3 feet inside baseline

His momentum carried him 3 feet outside of baseliine by the time he threw ball. First base is set inside edge of first base line so there is no way to step on 1st without coming back into fair territory. Stupid rule when they came up with it on bang bang plays, stupid rule now.

Disagree, you can run with your left foot on the chalk, which gets you the

Also, at the time of the throw, he's outside the running lane and ~20' from

^^^Yes, the bases, including home plate, are in fair territory. **

If you want to get real technical, the pitcher wasn't even looking to
hoosnowahokie • 06/07/22 08:37 AM ET
The pitcher also bobbled the ball a little in his glove.
hoosnowahokie • 06/07/22 08:33 AM ET
The runner opened himself up to it by not being in the lane far before the

As a former umpire, there is judgment here (I didn't see it)
TomTurkey • 06/07/22 09:54 AM ET
That was insane. He ran almost directly on the white line. It's not like he
HokieGator • 06/06/22 10:13 PM ET
His left foot was clearly in fair territory the entire way to first

Not really; they got this one right; by rule if his foot is in fair
hokiepro • 06/06/22 10:11 PM ET
Looked like his toss to first was hurried and sloppy...
TomTurkey • 06/07/22 10:04 AM ET
His path didn't interfere with the throw.
hokieZ71 • 06/06/22 10:15 PM ET
Seemed to me he was throwing to 2nd baseman to cover the bag
TomTurkey • 06/07/22 10:14 AM ET
It did interfere with throw because the pitcher threw it
hokiepro • 06/06/22 10:26 PM ET
Because pitcher fielded ball 3 feet inside line and actually threw ball
1980VT • 06/07/22 06:49 AM ET
It doesn't matter, at 45 feet you have to be in foul territory.
VTJayLaw • 06/06/22 10:23 PM ET
yup. i despise the twerps, but what was the runner supposed to do? **
squarerootofone • 06/06/22 10:05 PM ET
Running the lane he supposed to run in?**
hokietony • 06/06/22 10:06 PM ET
if there hadn't been a collision, would he still have been called out?**
squarerootofone • 06/06/22 10:11 PM ET
probably not but that is the purpose to the running lane**
