@Paul_CasellaMLB Per 9.06c runners intent is irrelevant: "When the runner advances each time the defensive team makes a play on a preceding runner, the batter-runner shall be credited with only as many bases as he advanced safely before the defensive team made the play on the preceding runner."
@Leigonhoopz@PreacH0921@searlebaseball Honestly, not disagreeing with it needing context. By following the provided definitions of the scenario, i don’t see a case for triple and I’m actually a huge fan of Bryce Harper. Yes I’m a Braves fan but gotta respect his play style and talent.
@AstonBryce@ScoringChanges@Phillies@Mets So by your examples, Corbin Carroll attempting to stretch a single into a double is the same as defensive team failing to turn a tough double play? Do you actually believe that out just arguing for sake of arguing. One is silly the other is scary. No, that’s not the same either🤦🏻♂️
@wfreeman0@ScoringChanges@Phillies@Mets Post what’s bellow your cutoff point because it’s 9.06C that says exactly what I’ve been saying. You conveniently cut that part out. Don’t worry i got you fam: here’s a screenshot of that and a link. I’m not trying to hide anything. 9.06c supersedes both

@JGil050@ScoringChanges@Phillies@Mets The proceeding runner is the lead runner per mlb definitions in the rulebook. A play was made on the lead runner. I don’t understand if everyone arguing doesn’t understand the rules of baseball or are incapable of removing bias from an objective ruling.
@LucidBets@ScoringChanges@Phillies@Mets You might want to read the example given again. It at no point states anything about getting the proceeding runner out, only make a play on him.
@VitDBro1@ScoringChanges@Phillies@Mets Thank you for letting me know the type of individual i was talking to before wasting my time explaining definitions. Have a great day!
