    So how is it that baserunner is picked off 1st base but is awarded

    Many people have explained the rules incorrectly. You all keep claiming the base can only be blocked with the ball, which again, is not true. Michigan definitely got the first down in the bowl game too. Umps/refs always get it right after talks with coaches. My mistake. Carry on. Don't worry...

    So how is it that baserunner is picked off 1st base but is awarded

    I'm not excited and I understand what you are saying. That is not what I am referring to. I am referring to the multiple posts that people keep putting saying verbatim "the player cannot block the base unless he has the ball," which is simply not true. Either way, I'm done now. This is why I...

    So how is it that baserunner is picked off 1st base but is awarded

    I give up. Just totally give up. I posted a direct copy/paste from the pdf of the rulebook from this year stating that possession of the ball is not needed if in the act of fielding and you all just totally ignore it. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

    So how is it that baserunner is picked off 1st base but is awarded

    Everything you just said is correct. This is why it should have been an out. Reaching for the errant throw was the act of fielding to which I have been referring. Unintentionally blocking the base because your momentum carried him to that spot is legal because that is the act of fielding.

    So how is it that baserunner is picked off 1st base but is awarded

    Don't have a replay of it available myself. What happened was that there was a bad throw by the pitcher on the pick off, which took the first baseman across the bag to catch it. That is when the bag was blocked.he even fell over the runner making the catch so I'm not sure how they came to the...

    Lol do you still not understand "in the act of fielding?"

    So how is it that baserunner is picked off 1st base but is awarded

    Yes, explained it incorrectly...again, you are both wrong. The rules are very clear. From the NCAA Baseball 2021 rulebook: "Note 2: On a play at the plate or any base, the catcher or any defensive player must clearly have possession of the ball or be in the act of fielding before blocking the...

    So how is it that baserunner is picked off 1st base but is awarded

    You are simply wrong and the umpire made a bad call. The base or plate can be blocked in both college and major league baseball if A. The fielder has possession of the ball or, and this is the important one B. The fielder is making a legitimate effort of fielding the ball and it takes them into...

    You can certainly block the base or plate, either one, with the ball or if making a legitimate attempt to field the ball. Bad call.

    So how is it that baserunner is picked off 1st base but is awarded

    The first baseman stepped on the baserunner's hand as he dove back to first while reaching for the ball. The umpires hot together and decided that he blocked the base path without the ball, and called it interference. I thought it was a really bad call, but it is what it is.

    Or you could be Arkansas, like I've said 100 times, anything can happen in baseball!

    Lol so someone predicted that 1 of 63 other teams would win it? Yes, that's incredibly impressive...

    And just like that Braden Davis is no longer a 4 star on rivals.*

    Rivals, who you are defending,, gave a player who didn't exist a 3* rating, and you are attacking ESPN's credibility. Priceless

    Is it raining at the park?

    I haven't seen the radar admittedly, but I've been in the parking lot since 5:30 and it was clear as could be until about 6:25 when the clouds came over. There has been a bit of mist but that was it. It is clearing up again here now.
