What was the rule that didnt allow the runner to advance two bases? Why could he only advance one base?

i think the rule is that you can only advance one base, unless theres a throwing error or something like that.

I thought the ball was ruled dead.

7.04

Each runner, other than the batter, may without liability to be put out, advance one base when_ (a) There is a balk; (b) The batter's advance without liability to be put out forces the runner to vacate his base, or when the batter hits a fair ball that touches another runner or the umpire before such ball has been touched by, or has passed a fielder, if the runner is forced to advance; A runner forced to advance without liability to be put out may advance past the base to which he is entitled only at his peril. If such a runner, forced to advance, is put out for the third out before a preceding runner, also forced to advance, touches home plate, the run shall score. Play. Two out, bases full, batter walks but runner from second is overzealous and runs past third base toward home and is tagged out on a throw by the catcher. Even though two are out, the run would score on the theory that the run was forced home by the base on balls and that all the runners needed to do was proceed and touch the next base. © A fielder, after catching a fly ball, falls into a bench or stand, or falls across ropes into a crowd when spectators are on the field; A fielder or catcher may reach or step into, or go into the dugout with one or both feet to make a catch, and if he holds the ball, the catch shall be allowed. Ball is in play. If the fielder or catcher, after having made a legal catch, should fall into a stand or among spectators or into the dugout after making a legal catch, or fall while in the dugout after making a legal catch, the ball is dead and runners advance one base without liability to be put out. (d) While he is attempting to steal a base, the batter is interfered with by the catcher or any other fielder. NOTE: When a runner is entitled to a base without liability to be put out, while the ball is in play, or under any rule in which the ball is in play after the runner reaches the base to which he is entitled, and the runner fails to touch the base to which he is entitled before attempting to advance to the next base, the runner shall forfeit his exemption from liability to be put out, and he may be put out by tagging the base or by tagging the runner before he returns to the missed base.

Well atleast now I know. Most of the guys in my section had no clue what was going on

Yeah he fell into the Pool/Jacuzzi area.

Yeah it was the Spa area. And that catch more than made up for his 2 errors tonight.

thanks for clearing that up. Thats an interesting rule its amazing how many little rules are in this game that you never knew were there.

Enc with the Nigel Wilson throwback catch

I tried to record this while I was gone to Church but the flippin VCR was set to SP so I only got the first 1:30 of the game. :confused

What were Rich and Tommy saying when it happened? Did Rich go crazy?

 

I was at the game so I don't know.

They had the night off. The game was on ESPN2.

On the replay, it didn't look like Enc lost his balance. He just didn't make any attempt to disrupt momentum. Not a bad thing, just odd.

Encarnacion probaly thought "Co?o, DW and Carlos are gonna shove a bat in my culo if I don't catch this one. Let me make up for my last 2 errores."

 

LMAO. Other than that play. Encarnacion was horrible out there. He seemed lifeless. :lol I hope Conine plays RF tomorrow.

Thanks. I was wondering about this. They didn't even explain it on TV.
