Twins (Ober) vs Mariners (Gilbert): 6/28/24, 8:40pm

[USAFChief]

That's some ******** umpiring

[TwinsCD]

That's out of the baseline simply on the fact that he ran into the grass to screen Miranda on the play.  He could have easily gone behind him and been fine with no worries of interference.  3B umpire blew that one.

[Aggies7]

The rule is no more than 3 feet out of the baseline.

[Parfigliano]

Is it me or does Miranda have a huge forehead?

[Peter]

Run shouldn’t have counted! Runner was on grass. Can’t walk any batters whatsoever!!!! That may cost us game 

[wabene]

Ouch 

[CoastiePilot08]

1 hit this inning

The rule is the runner sets the baseline.

[AussieG]

Jax has no idea where it's going atm

[Patzky]

Where's Peter..

[CoastiePilot08]

MLB umps suck. We know this. The bias is real. 
 

however, don’t walk people 

[CoastiePilot08]

And this guy has a giant strike zone. Walking the 8 man tonight is weak.

Yes. And he went more than 3’ to avoid the tag

[Peter]

Been say this about umpires all season long!!! Time to go robotic 

[Patzky]

Wow the calzone fell off the floor there 

[Patzky]

Guess it could have been worse but shouldn't have ever happened.

[CoastiePilot08]

Two ****** defensive plays are the difference. Bummer. 

[wabene]

Jax was not as sharp as he's been. Keeping it at 1 was huge.

Maybe.  Maybe not.

But he clearly avoided the tag by leaving the natural baseline he selected.

Yep. The runs aren't easy to get tonight. Can't give them away like that.

[Aggies7]

Remember Pedro Muñoz?

C'mon boys I don't want to see the Manfred man

Out of the base line and 3 feet into the grass.

I think he did vary from his set running lane but not for the purpose of avoiding the tag but for the interference with the fielder. You could call either there I would think.

Fielder gets priority over a runner in the area of the play being made. He got away with it because he didn't change speed. One hesitation and it's an obvious call.

It's an unfortunate miss but hard to call in the moment as the combination of two rules where you think, something wasn't right there. He should have called a delayed interference and figured it out in conference.

[CoastiePilot08]

Weeeeeeeeak.

The first and most important thing to know about the base path is that there is no such thing as a base path (none exists) until a play is made on a runner. The base path is established when a fielder with the ball attempts to tag a runner. Then, and only then, is there a base path. And the base path is a straight line from the runner's position to the base to which he is advancing or retreating.

Life is so much easier when you score 7 or 8 runs.
