Because Oli is cluelessOzziesfan41 wrote: ↑09 Apr 2025 13:31 pm Why didn’t oli challenge it? Even the announcers thought he was
With just an ounce of effort Saggesse could have played hop-scotch and leaped over the pile to score. But no...I'll pussyfoot around them instead.rockondlouie wrote: ↑09 Apr 2025 13:29 pm Shortest distance between two points is a straight line, Saggesse should've just dove over the pile up and he'd have been safe instead of stutter stepping and arcing around them.

If I were his manager I'd seriously demand the cost of a front-row ticket, because instead of being a base runner there, that's what he was, spectator.tony3425 wrote: ↑09 Apr 2025 13:31 pmThis isn't remotely close to accurate. If he made contact with the fielder while they're trying to field the ball, it's runner interference and he's called out. The play from him here, is to get home while avoiding contact, instead of just prancing around panicking. Go around, jump over, anything would have been better than what he did outside of running into the fielder.
Thanks for posting that.Absolut wrote: ↑09 Apr 2025 13:34 pm 1. Fielder's Right of Way on Batted Balls:
General Rule:
On a batted ball, fielders have the right to field the ball, and runners must avoid them.
Runner's Responsibility:
Runners must avoid a fielder who is in the act of fielding a batted ball, even if it means running outside the baseline.
Deflection:
If a ball deflects off a fielder, the fielder retains the right of way as long as the ball remains within their immediate reach.
Obstruction:
A fielder cannot block a runner's path to a base unless they are in the act of fielding a batted ball or are in possession of the ball.
2. Runner's Right of Way at Other Times:
General Rule: At times other than on a batted ball, runners have the right of way and fielders cannot impede their progress to a base.
Interference: If a fielder obstructs a runner's path to a base without being in the act of fielding a batted ball or possessing the ball, it's considered interference, and the runner is awarded at least one base.
Base Blocking: A fielder cannot block access to a base without possession of the ball.
All Saggesse had to do was dive over the pile and he'd have landed on the plate ahead of any tag, he blew it.Cusecards wrote: ↑09 Apr 2025 13:40 pmThanks for posting that.Absolut wrote: ↑09 Apr 2025 13:34 pm 1. Fielder's Right of Way on Batted Balls:
