A
i'm switching my answer to A. I believe if the runner interferes, the defense has the option to take the result of the play.
Another poorly worded question and answer. Possibly a trick question. Which do NOT result in an immediate dead ball. The answer sheet says B.
The thought is … If the batter interferes with the catcher's throw to 2nd or 3rd on a steal, if the runner is out, the play stands. If safe batter is called out and the runner returns.
Today's question.
B1 asks for and receives time to talk to his 3b coach. While they are conversing, the defensive coach motions to the pitcher to meet him at the foul line. As the offensive conference breaks the defensive coach returns to his dugout,
a. Only a defensive conference is charged.
b. Only an offensive conference is charged.
c. Both a defensive and offensive conference is charged.
C
B
Yesterday's answer - B. The defensive team is not charged if their conference does not extend beyond that of the offensive team - who requested the time out,
Today's question.
With one out bases loaded, the batter hits a pop up near 1st base. Infield fly is called. R1 broke on the contact and was tracking the fly as he returned to 1st base. In returning he bumped into the fielder making the play. The fielder - after contact - still makes the catch in foul territory.
a. Only the batter-runner (B1) is out.
b. Only the runner on first (R1) is out.
c. Both B1 and R1 are out.
A
C
Yesterday's answer B. The interference causes an immediate dead ball.

"A"ssuming there is no infielder (not including the pitcher) that tried to make a play on that ball in front of said runner on a base for the line drive and the umpire is convinced there's no infielder behind the runner that has a play on the ball.... grumble, grumble... A base is only a safety zone on IFR, but if you're not on the base and get hit by an IFR - we've got a double play.
I have to say I hope those of you playing along and getting wrong answers won't try to make calls from the stands when you get to go to games again sometime in the future

My strike zone from my chair at a 45* angle from the plate is ALWAYS better than the umpire’s!
John F hit it on the screws. The answer is A.
Today's Question
R1 on first hit and run is on. B1 hits a long fly ball to CF that is caught. R1 touches second on way to 3rd but misses 2nd as he retreats to 1st. CF overthrows 1st and ball goes out of play. The umpire correctly awards the R1 3rd base.
a, Since R1 touched 2nd at least 1 time it is not considered a missed base.
b. The award negates the appeal of the missed base.
c. If R1 touches 2nd while proceeding on the award, an appeal on the missed base cannot be upheld.
d. R1 is called out on a proper appeal, whether or not he touched 2nd while advancing on the award.
B
D
I am flunking out on this thread big time. I am kicking virtual dirt on New Ump's shoes.
Friday's answer - C. Commonly referred to as "last time by". In short - if a runner properly touches a base the "Last time by" - all other base running errors are negated.

a. B1 is issued a warning for the actions.
b. B1 is ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct.
c. B1 is out.
d. The play stands - foul ball.
