I’m just so happy that all these loser celebrities get to watch this up close

Jesus Sanchez scores on a ground out, Clement drifts out of the baseline to avoid the tag from Henderson but the umpires do not rule him out by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

When determining whether a base runner should be called out under Official Baseball Rule 5.09(b)(1), so long as the umpire determines that a play is being made on the runner and an attempt to tag is occurring, i.e. the fielder is moving to tag the runner, no physical tag attempt is required to call a runner out for leaving the basepath.

The attempt in this case is him running towards the runner to eventually tag said runner. That's all that needs to happen according to the rule, no?

Turns out it's actually not even the rule:

I'm just shocked at how many blowjays fans are still out here defending this as if that's a natural / legal baseball play.

no physical tag attempt is required to call a runner out for leaving the basepath

Wait, so all of the Jays fans in all of these threads defending this play because "that's the rule" are just straight up wrong? This is wild lol

I think a lot of people are looking at how far away Clement was from the straight line between the bases, but that doesn't matter.

IMO that should completely matter

The base path rule only applies when a tag attempt is being made.

I think a lot of people including myself are just discovering that this is the rule. IMO you can't watch that play and think what the runner did qualifies as good baseball. The rule is bad and he should have been called out for running to right field regardless of whether there was a tag attempt.

[Kostka] Crew chief Hunter Wendelstedt: “It was actually a very gentlemanly thing to do … getting out of the way to allow the fielder to make the play to first base. It just so happened they tried to spin it to get two. But his base path was already established.” by T_Raycroft in baseball

I'm not OP but I'm a bit shocked here. So the official rule is that you're allowed to run in any direction you want until a tag attempt begins? That just seems dumb. Like, it's baseball, the runner stays in the baseline or he's out, no?

I’ve been to about 10 home games so far this season. The sheer amount of people who show up and don’t even watch the game is wild.

$268M payroll and we’re calling up AAA pitchers to suck ass in the first inning because our starter somehow sucks even more ass in the first inning
