    For those who don’t know (I’ve read some of the comments), when the infield fly rule is called, the ball is not dead. The batter is automatically out to remove the force plays at all the bases, whether the ball is caught or not, and runners can advance at their own risk (tagging up is required if the ball is caught by the infielder.) But in order to fix this, the ball SHOULD be dead and no advancement by the runners should be possible. Once the call is made, ball would be dead and the play is over, no matter what happens.

    • @cubsfanman-nx6pg
      @cubsfanman-nx6pg Před 21 dnem +15

      I think that instead of completely changing the infield fly rule they should just make it a dead ball if there is interference like this (or at least umpire discretion if there is a play)

    • @loserhl
      @loserhl Před 21 dnem +27

      @@cubsfanman-nx6pg The problem is the infield fly rule causes the continuation of play which then requires the use of the interference call. Players still need to catch the ball to prevent runners from advancing. Simple fix is just like OP says, infield fly rule should be dead ball and no advancement by runners and the batter is out. It would remove the need for any umpire discretion on interference calls.

    • @twinlamp

    I saw both when they happened and what I will say is this:
    If the White Sox one was out, then Soto's was about 5 outs. Gunner Henderson barely even noticed that the runner was there, it was such a nothing incident. At least with Soto there was actually contact and a dropped ball.
    I think when MLB says that they could have used discretion, they're right. "A runner who ajudged to have hindered a fielder..." OK, so... Did he hinder the fielder? My discretion would say, NO. So if the runner is ajudged to have NOT hindered the fielder, he should be called safe.

    • @hiddenxgecko
      @hiddenxgecko Před 21 dnem +29

      Yes, Soto clearly hindered the fielder more than the white sox game. The trouble is that it was a lot harder for him not to hinder the fielder since the ball dropped right by the bag and the fielder had to take a few steps back.
      Overall, I think the first isn't an out and the second is but understand it going both ways in both games.
      The rule doesn't account for nuance so the umps have to.

      @@nolansprojects2840 The problem with the second, is there was no path for the runner. The shortstop misread the ball, and had to jump back into the runner. If the runner was watching the ball I guess, he could know this but if he held back, he'd just be tagged out since he would have to stop and the shortstop would of caught the ball basically touching the bag. Now if I'm instructing infielders on fielding popups, I'm going to tell them to double up, to block the baserunner, and call off the 2nd last minute to get 2 outs. They should of used discretion as per MLB and not called an out, because the shortstop jumped into the runner.

      Agreed. First time they got both calls right. and both calls are interference. Always thought baseball is a joke because of all the cheating and how long it took them to implement instant replay. Both calls are definitely interference. As a casual fan who finds the sport incredibly boring and unathletic. This is going to be used to cheat for sure by many but in my opinion if defense has to change their course at all or change speed to avoid an obstacle from the opposing team that should be a penalty of some sort. miliseconds matter whether someone can make a catch or not and that could be the deciding factor in a championship game. Need clear cut rules and baseball has always been on a whim. Can't wait for the days where pitches are calculated by computers and they get rid of half the umpires. Human eyes suck and there's a reason eye-witness testimony isn't worth much.

      @nolansprojects2840 Před 21 dnem +6

      It doesn’t need to be rewritten. If an infield fly is called, it is because the ball can be caught by an infielder without extraordinary effort. If they don’t catch it, that’s on the fielder.
      This incentivizes the fielder to catch the ball instead of just letting it drop. If the runners had to freeze in place, there would be no effort by either team. But not having that rule can allow the runners to take a risk.

    I think the rule is pretty flawed mostly because the two plays show both ends of the spectrum.
    1st play try to go directly back to the base gets in the way.
    2nd play waits to go back to let the fielder set up so he can go around him gets in the way.
    What else is a runner supposed to do in that situation if the play is near the base?

    Best fix to this rule is this:
    1. If the runner is deemed to be returning directly to their base and makes incidental contact with the fielder, it is a dead ball. Runner cannot advance and must return to their base.
    2. If the runner is deemed to make purposeful contact to stop a play on the ball, the runner is out.
    3. If the runner is deemed to be making an attempt to advance on the play and makes any contact, incidental or purposeful, the runner is out.
    And maybe to stop teams from taking advantage of the dead ball on defense,
    4. If the fielder makes contact with a runner that is not deemed to be during a legitimate act to play the ball (such as running directly into the baserunner and then changing direction to catch the ball), then it is a dead ball and runners are able to advance 1 base.
    In all situations, the infield fly would still be in effect and batter is out.

    • @jimgroves661
      @jimgroves661 Před 20 dny +1

      Here's what I was thinking; whenever an infield fly is called, the batter is out and the ball is dead until a member of the fielding team is standing in the infield with the ball in hand and all base runners are standing on the last base they achieved. That would erase all motivation for anyone to interfere or make it seem like they were interfered with.

    • @huddl3buh50
      @huddl3buh50 Před 19 dny

      i think it would be easier to just nix this rule and add something to the infield fly rule that says if a fielder does not catch an infield fly the batter is still out but the ball is dead. Runners can't advance, double plays can't be turned.

    • @HutsonKyle
      @HutsonKyle Před 18 dny

      You could alternatively state that if interference occurs on an infield fly, that the interference call nullifies the infield fly ruling. By the interference being called (according to all other existing rules) the ball is dead, the interfering runner is out, the batter gets first base and any runners forced by the runner going to first get the next base.
      In the Soto case, he would be out, the batter would get 1st, and the batter on 1st would go to 2nd. Soto would have been out, but there would only be one out on the play and the bases would remain loaded (but not with Soto on 2nd).
      It would still create a disincentive to interfere (nobody wants to take an out themselves), but still achieve what we all think should happen here. I mean, if you've got Slow Mo on 2nd and he wants to "take one for the team" with a speedy runner behind him, that's his decision.

      The fielder is blocking his way back the whole way - and then it's the fielder who backs up into Soto at the end - Soto who is taking the only viable route he can do the base. It's an incredibly awkward situation - actually significantly more awkward than the first example where had the baserunner been more attentive he could have avoided blocking Henderson. I think the ruling is bad for baseball in both cases though and let's hope to see a lot less of this in the future.

    It seems that all sports would benefit by adopting the rules of Calvinball.

    This is an ALL TIME breakdown. Dual jomboys arguing was 🤌. Also Aaron Boone is the shit

      As a Blue Jays fan I don't like the yankees (boo!) but I do like how Aaron Boone gets into it with the umps and sticks up for his players like that.

    Your channel's humility and hard work are commendable. Well done.

    Lindsay explained it very well by saying the runner in an infield fly situation has an affirmative duty to avoid interfering with the fielder making the catch attempt. This is different from the priorities in a regular fielding play. Like most sports, you must know the rules.
