And thats why I caveated my answer with if there was actually a play being made on the batter/runner. If so, 8-2-M-3 requires the b/r to use the colored portion of 1st base.
So you're saying too that in this case where there easily could have been a bang-bang 9-3 put-out that the 1st baseman HAS the right to occupy the back second base side part of the white bag?
I would agree then and this ump would have been incorrect.
(It's cool how many times a really good fielding "gun of an arm" can make this play from F9. I guess it's just conditioning and runner speed that has this play almost never happening on tv with D1 college SB.......)
