@BrianDembo @BaltimoreDinger So if it had been a sharp ground ball to first and the 1B missed the tag he’s out because he’s 65 feet from second?

[Chad Doll @CapnChad]

@BobHenryRob @BaltimoreDinger Judgement call. They exist. Same with trying to avoid hit by pitch, infield fly, etc. Your judgement on this play is different from the umpire in question.

[Chad Doll @CapnChad]

@BrianDembo @BaltimoreDinger The base in whatever path he chooses to take.

[Chad Doll @CapnChad]

@BobHenryRob @BaltimoreDinger Not saying I like the skunk, I’m saying it is a perfect illustration of the rule. The runner gets to choose his path to the base, but once a play on him is established, he cannot deviate from it.

[Chad Doll @CapnChad]

@BaltimoreDinger @BrianDembo The rule is he cannot be more than three feet either way from his established path.

@thanebellomo @ScoringChanges Skunk in the outfield! Look it up.

[Chad Doll @CapnChad]

@BrianDembo @BaltimoreDinger Look up skunk in the outfield. Being 3 feet from the base is not the question.

[Chad Doll @CapnChad]

@BaltimoreDinger Yes. Movement toward us a tag attempt. That doesn’t change anything said about establishing a path nor the position of the base at the time of the photo.

[Chad Doll @CapnChad]

@BrianDembo @BaltimoreDinger It’s not three feet from the base. It’s three feet from the runner’s established line

[Chad Doll @CapnChad]

@MVJUDGE99 @DylnHarrison Actually, he can.

@balkwhisperer I’ve generally quit commenting on these plays because I now realize the overwhelming majority of fans don’t know this rule. He’s safe.

Do the Reds have the worst bullpen in the history of baseball? They are really awful.
