Molina Gives Blanco The Reacharound But Not A
Triple Play

post from 6-4-2 — an Angels/Dodgers double play blog on 20 April 2007 09:27:00 AM. © 6-4-2 — an Angels/Dodgers double play blog

In today's Cards @ Cubs game: in the bottom of the seventh, with Henry Blanco at bat and Jacque Jones and Mark DeRosa at first and second respectively, Blanco attempted a bunt to move over the runners. Popping the ball up instead, Cards catcher Yadier Molina reached around Blanco to catch the pop. He almost succeeded.

Instead, Molina dropped the ball. Quickly recovering, he picked it up, tagged Molina, and threw to second, where there was a presumptive force. Adam Kennedy (I think) threw to third for the tag out of DeRosa.

Triple play, right?

Not so fast.

Molina was automatically out for batter's interference when he failed to get out of Molina's way to make the play. Jones and DeRosa returned to their respective bags thanks to Rule 6.06(c):

Rule 6.06(c) Comment: If the batter interferes with the catcher, the plate umpire shall call ?interference.? The batter is out and the ball dead. No player may advance on such interference (offensive interference) and all runners must return to the last base that was, in the judgment of the umpire, legally touched at the time of the interference.
