@marmac2768 9 лет назад

Jeremiah De La Fuente Yeah, the second thing that Backman said that was wrong (the first being "tie goes to the runner") was that "you can't call him out and then call him safe". When I heard that, I laughed out loud!!! Of course you can!! You make a call, then when the play ends, you can get help from your partner if you think you need to. If he sees something that would cause you to change your call, you do it. It's something that is done all the time.

@jeremiahdelafuente4230 9 лет назад

Yea that's why it's important to take your time calling the plays

@marmac2768 9 лет назад

Jeremiah De La Fuente Yeah, the home plate guy didn't help the base ump at all. He looked a lot younger than the guy on the bases, so maybe experience would have played a part in it. But, that is the plate umps call all the way on the interference and not running in the lane.

@jakejones9877 8 лет назад

I don't know about that ump's reasoning. How can the foot of the fielder and the runner touch the base at the same time if the fielder was in front of the runner to tag him out. Doesn't make any sense.

@playingforpeanuts 13 лет назад

@chuckfan1 - I think Backman knew he was wrong or at least didn't have a good case, and that's why he didn't get himself ejected for arguing. But, the umpire who made the second call is also the same umpire who made the initial call, so he overruled himself. The only information provided by the plate umpire was that the first baseman had the ball in front of him - he never said he saw a tag. So it was a murky play on all sides. Entertaining though!

@russellbrooker2122 4 года назад

Interference? How so?

@Criminal.Lawyer 4 года назад

Russell Brooker the batter runner was outside of the running lane when he made contact with the first baseman. It wasn’t a case where at the every end his foot went out to touch the base. He was completely outside of the lane (except for his right foot) and as he stepped towards the base he made contact with the first baseman while moving toward getting back into the lane.

@francobobfred 9 лет назад

C'mon Wally. You've been around baseball long enough to know that there is no such thing as "tie goes to the runner." :-D

@carlsaberhagen628 9 лет назад

francobobfred True, but it isn't exactly wrong. If the ball does not beat the runner to the bag, the runner is safe. So, if the runner gets to the bag the exact same time as the ball, the ball did not beat the runner to the bag--so the runner is safe. Or, in other words, "tie goes to the runner."

@GBattackGO 8 лет назад

+Carl Saberhagen if the ball and the runner coincidentally reach the bag at the same time the question you ask yourself is, "did the runner beat the ball?" in the instance of a "tie" the runner will never ever beat the ball therefore the runner is out. But the thing about this kind of play is that its a judgement call by the umpire and I can guarantee that it will not be called the same way for every umpire.

@carlsaberhagen628 8 лет назад

Kris Rule 6.05(j): "After a third strike or after the batter hits a fair ball, he or first base is tagged before he touches first base." The key word is BEFORE. A batter is out only if the batter or bag are touched BEFORE the batter reaches the bag. So, if the the batter or first base is touched "at the same time" or "after" then the batter is safe. "At the same time" is the same as a "tie."

@GBattackGO 8 лет назад

fair, and I see it. But ultimately a safe or out call is a judgement call by the umpire and the calls will vary.

@Slossage17 6 лет назад

That’s interference from the 1B man. The runner stepped on his foot.. Plus, I don’t even think the 1B man even touched the bag lol safe.

@brady13001 4 года назад

there's no such thing as "interference" there it'd be "obstruction" that would be the proper term. Second he can be anywhere he wants if he has the ball or the ball is in flight on its way to the fielder. At that point by rule its entirely the obligation of the runner to avoid contact.

@alanhess9306 2 года назад

First of all, the fielder never commits interference. The term you are looking for is obstruction. But a fielder cannot be guilty of obstruction if he has the ball. Slow it down and watch it again. The first baseman had the ball before there was contact.

@Tuning_Spork 8 лет назад

SAFE!!! The tag (though maybe not the collision) happened after the batter stepped on the bag.

@DukeRules04 12 лет назад

Let's all keep in mind Wally saw this from the dugout, not our angle OR the umps.... the real reason he is mad is because the ump initially called the runner safe then switched it once he heard the home plate's ump view, rather his which was much closer...You can't switch on your official call as an ump with no other evidence but another ump's( specifically the ump FARTHEST away from the ball) opinion of what happened.

@BadMannerKorea 11 лет назад

First off, the guy who was on the defense was blocking the runners path with his foot and his body. You're not allowed to block the path of the runner until you have possession of the ball. Stop it at the 0:13 second mark and you can see that the ball was not in his possession, yet he was blocking the path.

Backman's actually wrong on this one. The umpire can, under his discretion change the call. Also, the rule states that the runner must beat the ball to first base. Since the runner didn't beat the ball, he's out.

@chuckfan1 um, no the tie goes to the runner, always has. Not sure what kind of baseball you have been around but in MLB tie always goes to the runner by rule.

@alanhess9306 Год назад

Technically, you are correct according to the book. The problem is that there are no discernable ties in baseball. The human eye is not capable of determining a true tie so one thing happened before the other. Most umpires believe that when the play is so close you can't determine which happened first, they will get the out. One team is going to complain, so you may as well get the out.

@KJelly3130 12 лет назад

hate to say it, but i pulled the clip, slowed it down a shit ton and ball gets into the glove before the runner actually contacts the base. not a guarantee but it doesnt look like that left step touches it, ball is in the glove by the time the right foot hits the bag i think

@playingforpeanuts Год назад

There's way more happening on this play. Wally is standing up for a player here because, at the time this happened, that player needed to know Wally would fight for him. Wally also had a very good relationship with the umpire who umpired all Peanuts home games... Wally was letting him know that he wasn't afraid to give him an argument.
