I honestly don't know what the rule would say about that play and if it was the correct call or not. I was just trolling to ruffle feathers.

I'd like to know Oakland's record since trading for Shark and Lester.First to 80 wins
The A's have been playing .500 baseball for about a month and a half.
Moss has been awful in August. A's need his bat.So many players on the team slumping. Injuries too. But this team should be able to overcome that. We'll see what happens.
Just got followed by Ervin Santana on twitter
Idk how that happened, I don't even follow him
Forreal, Bautista follows me too. So did Santana until he saw me hating on the Braves...I wonder who follows all these people for him.Unrelated, but Bautista follows a lot of people lol

Yes you can run anywhere you want, but once you start to path to a base, your running lane is a straight line to that bag. Whether you start on the foul line or from the on deck circle, you have to stay in that lane, aybar clearly ran out of this lane to create contact. Plus the fielder has a right to field the ball, which aybar interfered with. But if he stays in the running lane already painted on the basepath, this isn't an issue.I don't understand why people keep bringing up the running lane. You can run anywhere you want, but if you're hit by a thrown ball outside the lane, you're out. It simply has no relevance in the play last night.
The base runner has to the avoid defense players making a play on the ball, period. The fact he was awarded first base is a joke. Mlb is hiding behind "judgement" call.
Sorry sir, but this is incorrect. Established baselines can change at any point (think run downs). Once a baseline is established, the runner has three feet on either side of the line to work with.Yes you can run anywhere you want, but once you start to path to a base, your running lane is a straight line to that bag.

IAnd this is the reason the running lane is painted on the is painted 45 feet out. Don't ignore that fact too.
not reallyIrrelevant.
i mean thats why that 45 foot line is there.In running the last half of the distance from home base to first base, while the ball
is being fielded to first base, he runs outside (to the right of) the three-foot line, or
inside (to the left of) the foul line, and in the umpire’s judgment in so doing inter-
feres with the fielder taking the throw at first base, in which case the ball is dead;
except that he may run outside (to the right of) the three-foot line or inside (to the
left of) the foul line to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball;
Rule 6.05(k) Comment: The lines marking the three-foot lane are a part of that lane and a
batter-runner is required to have both feet within the three-foot lane or on the lines marking the lane.
The batter-runner is permitted to exit the three-foot lane by means of a step, stride, reach or slide in the
immediate vicinity of first base for the sole purpose of touching first base.
