It is a textbook call, the problem is the textbook!
It is the dumbest rule in baseball. Maybe this will get the rule changed.

Why is that a bad call? He was running in fair territory and interfered with the

That’s a different conversation.

I completely disagree with you

Because that isn't the rule. You don't have to run in foul territory. LOL

Why'd you delete your post once the replay showed him running down the middle of the bag?
shimmy
10/29/19 8:50pm
The post I deleted simply asked for people to explain the logic.
garyfan
10/29/19 8:51pm
The logic: people thumbed down because you were wrong.
shimmy
10/29/19 8:54pm
Correction: Because they don’t know/understand the rule.
garyfan
10/29/19 8:55pm
You inferred he can't be in fair territory at the bag. Please tell me more who misunderstands the rule.
shimmy
10/29/19 8:56pm
You inferred that, but I didn’t say or imply that.
garyfan
10/29/19 9:01pm
This. I guess everyone needs to run on the right side of the base path . . .

10/29/19 8:50pm
But you can’t run where he ran. They draw a running lane for a reason.
garyfan
10/29/19 8:50pm
LOL. You can run 4 feet to the inside of the bag as long as you don't interfere.
shimmy
10/29/19 8:53pm
Right. But then you run the risk of interfering. Which he did. It’s the rule.
garyfan
10/29/19 8:55pm
Correct, but that wasn't interfence, hence the thumbs down. You get the middle of the bag. You don't have to be in foul
shimmy
10/29/19 8:56pm
You don’t get the middle of the bag from whatever angle you please.
garyfan
10/29/19 9:02pm
Yeah like a straight one . . .
TBabyCougs
10/29/19 9:03pm
Straight but in fair territory the whole way? Doesn’t work.
garyfan
10/29/19 9:06pm
Sure does. Go read shimmy's post that has the official rule. Sorry you're wrong
TBabyCougs
10/29/19 9:07pm
His post confirms what I’m saying.

Shimmy, the rule is obstruction on the runner
Busiturtle
10/29/19 8:52pm
Oh wow, really? Can they run past the bag as well at first? Thanks for explaining to me the most obvious thing and then
shimmy
10/29/19 8:54pm
What are you disputing?
Busiturtle
10/29/19 8:59pm
You don't have to be in foul territory all the way to the bag. That is the rule and the way it's been forever.
shimmy
10/29/19 9:01pm
A batter/runner risks interference by running a outside the lines

Bases are in fair territory.
Zak

That doesn’t mean runner can run anywhere.
garyfan
10/29/19 8:50pm
Like the base path??? Yeah you cant run there . . . Makes sense
TBabyCougs
10/29/19 8:51pm
like on the dirt with a direct path up the line?
Zak
10/29/19 8:51pm
Yeah, I don’t think you can do that, by rule.
garyfan
10/29/19 8:52pm
you 100% can. You get the bag at that last step which is when the ball got there. If he was 3 steps toward home
shimmy
10/29/19 9:00pm
LOL. He was in fair territory the whole way.
garyfan
10/29/19 9:03pm
Yes you can. You can run into the outfield. If the defense is attempting to make a play on your or if you are impeding
shimmy
10/29/19 8:58pm
He's in the very middle of the bag when the ball hits him.
Corn Pop

He is allowed to run in fair territory as long as his path from the box to 1st is

You are arguing logic, this baseball rule is illogical
