@ElevenVerts@TheBackPage@DaleScottMLB5 Since the runner is able to establish his own base path, taking away a throwing lane is not illegal. The runner would have to intentionally interfere with the ball for there to be a penalty. Freeman’s throw hit manny in the back. That’s not intentional.
@ElevenVerts@TheBackPage@DaleScottMLB5 Intentional interference would require that Manny was looking at Freeman as he threw the ball. Taking away a throwing lane is 100% legal. What are you missing?
@ElevenVerts@shants_thoughts@TheBackPage@DaleScottMLB5 I quoted the rule book too. The ONLY time there is a base path is if a tag is attempted.
Rule 5.09(b)(1):
"A runner's base path is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely."
@ra_buddy_69@JWonCATCHING “It's important that a base path only exists when a fielder is attempting to make a tag. At all other times there is no base path (no such thing) and in fact the runner is free (at his peril) to run pretty much anywhere he wishes.”

@iamrags@JWonCATCHING There is no base path unless there is a tag attempt. Runner can run however he wants as long as he doesn’t abandon his attempt to get to the next base.
