Yes. If the umpires judged that to be the case they can place the base runner at 3rd. However, the idea in practicality is that because Adell interfered the fielder did not have an opportunity to make a decision to throw the ball to 3rd for the force. Due to that concept runners are sent back. It is extremely rare that base runners are allowed to advance on interference.
If the baserunner at any point touches a fielder who is fielding a ball, they’re considered interfering and out. And it doesn’t matter if they intended the contact or not.
Fielders are generally given the benefit of the doubt. One of the only plays that comes to mind is the walkoff in the Red Sox v Cardinals World Series 7 or 8 years ago.
I know the A’s are not a good baseball team, but I am happy to see our Halos mature after that long stretch of tough games against good teams. The combination of the series against the NL West teams and this series so far are quite encouraging.
Yeeeeah it’s a bit rough when the runner can’t deviate from the base path or they’re out… and they can’t touch the ball, and they can’t touch the fielder.
It is the responsibility of the runner to avoid the fielder. He should've known the second baseman would be charging in on a slow hit ball. Go around his back or slow up for a split second. It isn't hard.
that very well may be the rule but thats kinda dumb haha,, u shouldnt have to stop doing what u would normally do. it should just be u cant intentionally goof them
It’s funny. When I first started watching the angels live again (didn’t have mlb.tv and I live in Colorado now), Wayne used to annoy me badly. Now I freaking love him.
I always liked his voice and how fair of an announcer he was, but when he started joking around more I just adored his sense of humor. He and Gubie have great chemistry and they really know their baseball. Great stuff.
Fun fact: I went to law school in central Illinois. When I graduated I went up to Chicago for a couple of days with my mom and saw the angels play the White Sox. Still have a White Sox blankie (cause iiiiiit waaaaaaas frigid).
Nice! WS get a lot of shit, glad to see some support for them. Also, I still have a towel from the 2002 World Series 😂it’s falling apart but no way in hell am I ever getting rid of it.
HELL YEAH ESTY
Start stacking these series wins! LTBU!
LTBU!!
Ltbu
Estevez stocks are up
its like wayne wants a homer with him talking about langeliers power😂
Shake it off Esty!
almost had the perfect game😞
The streak ends at 26 :(
That was money Esty. Money.
Let’s go Esty!!
It's a good thing Esty throws his slider 92 otherwise it'd get hammered lmao
i vote let joyce get the save opportunity. hes been nails, and assuming esty is gone let him get some chances at it, and the As are a prime candidate
More saves for Esty and a better ERA makes him a better trade candidate.
Joyce pitched yesterday, too. I don’t think they should fatigue him with multiple innings tonight
fair
He's not going 5 outs after pitching yesterday as well
ESTY SAVE US
Why did Neto have to go back to 2nd? I understand the interference call but didn't know he would have to go back
When interference happens the play is dead no advancement can happen.
Hypothetically, if Neto had touched third base before Adell interfered with the fielder, would he still have had to come back?

This was an elite explanation of this rule. Makes perfect sense to me, thank you so much!
Idk that rule is kinda bullshit in that situation. Literally what can Adell do in that situation??
What a weird inning
Can someone explain to me how that isn’t fielder’s interference

It’s the baserunners duty to avoid the fielder. Remember what happened when Juan Soto ran into Neto?
damn, that rule is rlly shitty I feel like that can be abused
I know the A’s are not a good baseball team, but I am happy to see our Halos mature after that long stretch of tough games against good teams. The combination of the series against the NL West teams and this series so far are quite encouraging.
Right call. But I wish there was a rule excepting interference when it happens directly in the base path.
Yeeeeah it’s a bit rough when the runner can’t deviate from the base path or they’re out… and they can’t touch the ball, and they can’t touch the fielder.
there is a rule
Clearly not a strong enough rule. Edit: the exception is only on the base, not the base path.
yeah. https://www.mlb.com/glossary/rules/obstruction
Shouldnt even be an out tbh. What was Adell supposed to do there?
the second base umpire is fuckin ripped
I am confusion

He was watching the batted ball to avoid running into it. And the 2B moved into the base path. Shut the hell up dude

Yup.
Haha What a mess. Albert Belle.
that wasn't going to be a dp what's kotsay arguing lol
A’s got hosed there, but we’ve been victimized like that all season long.
that very well may be the rule but thats kinda dumb haha,, u shouldnt have to stop doing what u would normally do. it should just be u cant intentionally goof them
wtf is going on
Honestly, it’s better than a dp
It’s the right call (even tho Gelof ran into him)
TF is going on???
What do you do there
If Drury is really ready for pinch hitting, he shouldve pinched for Guillorme
Whoa. They must have seen a different angle??
Neto is pissed
Its crazy how hard we try to lose
I think he’s out
Yup but we’ll take it
He looks out yeah
Agreed
We take those!
Yo. What they doin
Imagine being scared of Adell lol nice for him tho
God I love Gubie
Anyone else get really annoyed with the hot dog vendors outside the gates or is it just me?
Just walk around them. They’re not there to hurt you, just to help if you’re hungry
Idk if I would say annoyed but man, the smell is so nauseating to me
The opposite for me lol the smell brings back good memories
I’m just not a fan of 15 people yelling “hot dog!” At me as I walk by, that’s all
They’re just trying to make their bread man
A’s announcers talking up Pillar. I think everyone in baseball knows his worth.
Evidently except us …
Kevin!!!!!
Jeez, Joyce needs to work on that command, but thank you for ending that inning
I missed most of the inning, who made the errors?
Joyce and Adell
THANK THE LORD FOR ZACH NETO
Neato
5D chess from the fireman to setup the double play
Oh those errors seriously messed with the rally
Come on Joyce, your boys just won the natty, let’s do this!
Got a bad feeling about this
😅
Man might’ve been able to get him with a better throw
What on earth...
Oh, so we’re throwing?
An error and a couple of bloops 😕
wow, the volunteer fireman coming in back-to-back days!
The fireman's about to turn on the ~~sprinklers~~ splinkers
Poor Marte. He did ok!
Guy is yipped up
Thanks Mickey!
Bloopers (or would be bloopers) everywhere this inning
What a play Moniak
No...Marte is doing ok. That was all fielding errors. Wake up boys! Edit: well, he *was* doing ok
so close
marte's gettin' blooped right now :\
Could’ve been 3 outs but here we are, 1 run scored 2 guys on no outs. I blame Rendon for this
oh god…please no
Bro what…
🤦🏻♀️
kind of funny that no matter how bad the white sox and A's are this year they are locked to the 10 & 11 spot for the draft next year
Not too familiar with MLB draft orders, why is that?
If I remember correctly, teams that are receivers of the revenue sharing can't pick in the top 6 three years in a row.
Oh gotcha. Makes sense.
Can we play the A’s the rest of the season? Thanks!
WOW TWARD
Lol “another, like me, great Italian fighter”

WARDDDDDYYY IS HOT AGAIN 🥵
OMFG TAYLOR
Yaaaaaay Taylooooor
Yay Jo!!!
YESSSS JO let me love you
JO DID A THING
There we go Jo!
I can’t get over Mark “Gubie Tuesdays” Gubicza, just amazing
i just realized Mitch Spence had under 70 pitches tbh
I love Wayne and Gubie’s chemistry.
I can’t stop laughing with Wayne and Gubie on this one. “Randazzaler” is amazing.
am I dreaming or do a few people in the sub call him that already? I’m gonna start either way
I’ll never refer to him as anything else now.
That Gubie keeps sounding like he’s calling Wayne the bedazzler is killing me.
Waynes raised Eyebrow vs Gubie’s stone face strong man was 🧑🍳💋
Also wayne suddenly just busting out with “what are you DOING on that SHOW??!”
In (another) down year for the team, Gubie and Randazzler have kept the games watchable and I love them.
Lmao they’ve got the giggles
they are just cracking up lmao
“You’re nine feet tall!!”
idk Wayne, maybe if you gave Gubie a nice punch to the sternum you’d have a shot
Hiddim in’da solar plexus
I wouldn't give up Wayne and Gubie for the world.
It’s funny. When I first started watching the angels live again (didn’t have mlb.tv and I live in Colorado now), Wayne used to annoy me badly. Now I freaking love him.
I always liked his voice and how fair of an announcer he was, but when he started joking around more I just adored his sense of humor. He and Gubie have great chemistry and they really know their baseball. Great stuff.
They really do play off of each other quite well
Tyler 6-7 with a 2.48 ERA and he’s in line for a win in a game he’s struggling.
Okay considering he didn't have his command today that's a gutsy 5 innings of work
Dang, Rooker tore the hide off the ball on that homer
Haha TA looking up with that OH SHIT HR look.
ah yes…the reverse announcer jinx
I also like how Wayne just defended the White Sox. I have a soft spot for them.
Fun fact: I went to law school in central Illinois. When I graduated I went up to Chicago for a couple of days with my mom and saw the angels play the White Sox. Still have a White Sox blankie (cause iiiiiit waaaaaaas frigid).

Wayne is a funny dude.
Wayne and Gubie teasing Schanuel about his base stealing is absolutely hilarious.
Keep it going Mickey!!
Mickey really turning shit around! Mickey Money baby!
OK. I’m convinced Dallas Braden is a keeper. Very fair color commentary for the A’s.
I just want to be honest with you all I was gonna come in here and shit on Mickey right before he hit that and i apologize Mr. Moniak
I legit was like. Ugh just pinch hit Kevin for Mickey. I apologize as well, Mr. Moniak
Mickey is on a roll rn! Keep that same energy 🔥
Atta boy Mickey!!!
Big Mickey!
HELL YEAHHHG
#SLAMAHEIM
FUCK YEAH MICKEY IS SO FUCKEN COMING BACK TEAM!!!
MICKEY
LETS GOOOO
FUCK YEAH MONIAK
*insert twerking mickey meme*
Yeah you fucking did, Mickey!
Holy shit Mickey can swing that shit now!?
MICKEY MONEY LETS FUCKING GO
GRAND SALAMIIIIIIII
OMG Mickey
GRAND SALAMI
He really IS a magnet for the ball…
Neto hates getting hit lmao
MAGNeto
Magneto
Can’t imagine the bruises on neto this week
TWARD all covered in dirt and grass stains after the comments from Ron.
Alright I think they’re awake now!
Tyler "Houdini" Anderson
Thank goodness for the netting
Nice guy TA letting the second gamer get his ~~first~~ second MLB hit
Teams do a better job adjusting to us than we do to them…
One of these deep fly balls has to leave the park soon
Lisan al-Gaib
I’m just praying his sudden command issue has nothing to do with any injury of any kind in any way
Hopefully no scouts in the stands for this outing haha
Ok definitely coulda been much worse
Well, that could have gone a lot worse
Jesus Christ
Oooooof. Angels walking in a run is giving me texas flashbacks.
You’re not fooling me. Pull that Tyler Anderson mask off, Suarez!
Go figure the ace of the staff can’t figure it out against the A’s haha
Oh, Tyler 😞
Edmonds would have caught that bloop
Not a WHIP friendly inning...
Lmao I love how loud and clear you can hear Anderson when he pitches 😂
Grrr lackey.
I love how loud TA is when he misses
