  1. FAIR OR FOUL? The Call Everyone Gets Wrong

    A grounder hugging the line can fool anyone.
    On a bounding ball, the call is decided by how it crosses the bag — not by the bounce after. If it goes around the outside, it’s foul even if it lands in fair.

  2. FAIR OR FOUL? the grounder that fooled the third baseman

    This batter hits a grounder right on that fair–foul line, and the third baseman tries to sell it as foul.
    But the ball already passed over third base in fair territory, so umpire Bruce Dreckman correctly rules it a fair ball.
    A ground ball that crosses over any part of the base is fair — nothing else matters.

  3. A painful way to end a game — one mistake, and it’s over.

    A pitcher commits a mistake with the bases loaded and gets called for a balk — ending the game instantly.

    If you didn’t catch it, watch it again and let me know in the comments.

  4. He Threw His Glove at a Bunt… What Does the Rule Say?

    Clayton Kershaw threw his glove at a bunt attempt, but it never touched the ball.
    Under Rule 5.06(b)(4)(B), if a fielder throws his glove and hits a batted ball, runners get three bases.
    Since there was no contact, the play was legal — but right on the edge.

  5. Rare Rule in Action: Umpire Interference on a Throw

    Luis Torrens tried to throw out a runner at third, but the ball hit the umpire’s mask. Under Rule 5.06(C)(2), that’s umpire interference, the ball is dead, and runners go back. A rare rule — and the ump even called it on himself.
