What's your call? (Video)

Got an infield fly and that is it. I doubt the fielder even saw the runner as she was staring up at the ball the entire time. Interference is a real stretch on this one and completely disagree with the interference call.

THe following is just a guess, but what I would expect the call to be.

Absolutely interference. The runner came out of the running lane into fair territory and obstructed the play. BR is out on the IF, dead ball on the interference, all runners return to their base.

The running lane is irrelevant. The BR did exactly what the rules dictate by abandoning her base path to avoid interfering with the defense's right to make a play on a batted ball. It was poor execution by F3

Agreed that F3 did not take the best path to the ball, but the BR absolutely did interfere with the fielder making the play, though clearly not intentional. And she did so after she had been called out.

To be clear, I'm not trying to argue, just learn.

The runner did not interfere in any way with f3, as I stated f3 probably never even saw her. F3 simply misplayed the ball, interference is not a catch all for the defenses poor play.

We have done this play already ...

What do you have? Infield fly ... and?

Do you have an interference call? If so, what kind of interference?

Doesn’t seem like the runner interfered. Did the batter runner make contact with the F3? Play should have stood IMO. Batter out , runner scores.

But I’m not an Ump

Seems like the defense got one hell of a reward for not being able to catch a routine infield fly ball.
