Clarity on force rule from yesterday


Mar 8, 2020, 9:01 AM

I found this rule online that explains Brewer having to come back to 2nd. It’s the Force-Play-Slide rule in NCAA Rule 8, Section 4.

On any force play, the runner is required to slide into the base. It doesn’t matter if the fielder attempted to or could have completed the double play. It’s basically just a player safety rule. Also, no other baserunners are allowed to advance (this is why Brewer got stuck back at second).

So, the umps made the correct call (as much as I hate to admit it), but it also stinks that this all happened on a technicality. By rule, Henderson and Meredith were. By common sense, Henderson in no way endangered the second baseman, the second baseman tried to tag him on a force play and didn’t even attempt to throw to first. So, very unlucky play and glad we ended up scoring the most runs all season.

Wanted to share because I was interested in what exactly happened in that situation.

Go Tigers!

Im really starting to hate this new society of everything safe. Its baseball do we really need this rule? Its dumb AF IMO. So if im running from first to second and its a hard ground ball to the SS and im only half way in between bases when the 2B man gets the ball do I just slide half way in middle even though im not even close to the base? What if the bases are loaded and someone bunts down the 1B line on a suicide squeeze do I have to slide at home even though the 1Bman doesn't even have the ball yet? Sorry just hate some of these dumb rules that are to "protect" players. It was so much fun back in the day sliding hard into 2nd to break up a double play now if you do that I'm sure you will be thrown out of the game. Im not talking about going out of my way to take the dude out but if he is standing directly over second it was always fun taking his feet out and breaking up that throw to first. Now a days you dont have to even touch 2nd in the MLB with the neighborhood rule, do they still have that rule? Im not even sure.
