| Oct. 22, 2022 stick8 1992 posts | How would you call this one? Runner on first, one out. Batter hits a fly ball to left center. Runner on first is tagging. The batter runner is hustling and passes the runner tagging up on first. Then the left center fielder misses the fly ball. Is the batter runner out for passing the runner on first? |
| Oct. 22, 2022 B.J. 1107 posts | Stick.. Yes I would have the B/R out |
| Oct. 22, 2022 B.J. 1107 posts | Stick, I know you like to sometimes word scenarios a certain way.. in passing him I would assume he took the turn at 1st base and passed him |
| Oct. 22, 2022 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | I agree with B.J. (in both of his posts) ... Here's a pretty easily remembered statement of the rule: Any runner is out if he passes a preceding runner before that runner is out. |
| Oct. 22, 2022 k man Men's 65 326 posts | Is that on appeal or an automatic umpire call? |
| Oct. 22, 2022 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | k man ... That's NOT an appeal call ... It's an automatic immediate call by the umpire ... Last time I could find that it happened in MLB was in September last year ... In the top of the first in Arizona, Atlanta's Adam Duvall hit a drive to right that Jake McCarthy had in his glove and then the ball bounced off it and into the stands ... Austin Riley, the runner on first thought that the ball had been caught and retreated back toward first while Duvall passed him turning a 3-run homer into a 2-run single. |
| Oct. 22, 2022 Turning2 Men's 70 204 posts | to all - i agree with the call, batter/runner is out for passing previous runner as originally posted, but what would ruling be if the runner on first is tagging with foot on bag and the batter/runner ran straight down the right field line after tagging first base with no feint or perceived attempt to continue on to second base? does he come back (is this a requirement) to first to resume running the bases AFTER the runner that was occupying first base has exited? or does he resume running the bases BUT makes sure he doesn't come alongside or pass the other runner even though his path is well outside the path the 1st base runner is taking? |
| Oct. 22, 2022 B.J. 1107 posts | T2.. there is no need for B/R to re-rouch 1st base and there is no penalty for having 2 runners on the same bag as long as the defense doesn't tag them.. and any further advancement by the B/R is legal as long as he doesn't pass runner ahead of him |
| Oct. 23, 2022 stick8 1992 posts | BJ you are correct in your assumption. This happened in a mens league game I was umpiring last week. B/R was out. |
| April 5, 2023 g joe 19 posts | Game is over as soon as the winning run crosses the plate. As far as the throw, I would call it a stupid throw. If you think it's intentional call unsportsmanlike conduct on him and run him from the game. |
| April 6, 2023 B.J. 1107 posts | g joe ??? |
| April 6, 2023 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | g joe is correct. |
| April 6, 2023 neck10 714 posts | dave do you miss me??? |
| April 6, 2023 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | ...I didn't know I was supposed to be shooting at you, Ricky! |
| April 6, 2023 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | Come on, guys. g joe said the game is over as the winning run crosses the plate. That is 100% correct. So why do you miss neck10 and not me.....asking for a friend.... |
| April 7, 2023 Nancy Allen Men's 55 1438 posts | Neck10, well, you hid from me when I was in Michigan, but in your defense, there were no gates. Miss you. My best one on this was Sunday afternoon men's league. The runner stayed on 3B. The runner from 2B hits the inside of 3B (who does that?) and heads for home. I call him out. What? I motioned him over to me and had him look at 3B. You just passed and didn't notice a 220 pound man; so do you want to talk about my judgement or yours? I love this game. |
