I don’t know a ton about baseball but I am a softball player and here’s my opinion. I’m not gonna argue with the umpire giving the boy home. If the other team was gonna fight it or if the team on offense in this video was ahead by a lot I would’ve just made him stay at 3rd base. That’s just my opinion, it’s ok if you don’t agree. Just please no hate if you disagree
3rd baseman interference so yes 100% should be awarded home. Wether he would have made it doesn’t really matter when not given the opportunity because someone is in your running zone.
right call. He had every chance of getting to home but third baseman blocked and interfered . you can see him smiling a little when he fell surprisingly.
Yes every time, baseline should protect the runner and fielder. Fielder was in the way regardless of what is said and being awarded first is the right call in this situation.
In my league the award for OBSTRUCTION (NOT interference) is a minimum of one base beyond the last base safely touched, so even if this were a rundown situation here, the runner would be awarded home.
Yes! Coming from someone who plays softball, the third baseman is not supposed to be in the runners space. The third baseman should farther to the side.
Yes, but since he started to go back the run would not count. Ump gave him the call but if he started going back then he would not get a free base. Hope this helps
