 All right, get ready to see a rule that you probably didn't know existed, probably haven't seen put into effect, and then get ready to see a version of that rule that you definitely have never seen before.

Ozzy Alby's going to take this pitch and slap it right up the middle, right over the bag. JT makes the stop. Doesn't get the throw off, so you've got to run around first and so layer up. And he hits homers and he can tie the game with one swing and a nice curveball drops him to one knee. And now they're like, hey, he's swung at that curveball. Let's throw another curveball a little more off the plate. So see if he'll swing at that. And it's a little off and so layer says, no, I'm good. And now the one one pitch, another curve and that is such a nice pitch. And Ozzy goes to second and he's safe and he's going to third. No, I'll stay, I'm good. Look at that pitch, man. Look at this pitch. I think it would have been a called strike too. And Solaire just swings out of his shoes at it, just misses it. Now watch the umpire cause Solaire leans into the catcher. He doesn't get out of the way, leans into the catcher spot. The throw goes wide. The umpire, Mike Esterbrook immediately calls interference on the batter, points at him says, hey, you got in the catcher's way here, you can't do that illegal. Now the confusing part, the very confusing part is the first part of the rule says, 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 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. So Ozzy has to go back to first and the batter is out for interfering with the catcher on this throw. The only problem where it gets really confusing is Mike Esterbrook, after making this call, so lairs out, right? So that's fine. He called interference. Ozzy is being told that he's also out and he's like, what? And Esterbrook says, yeah, that's three outs. Now that's where you have confusion on top of confusion because he lost track of the count. So he thought that Soler struck out and that was the third strike. So that's an out, meaning if he struck out and then interfered with the catcher, then there has to be a punishment for interfering with the catcher on this play on the stolen base. So the punishment would be the runners out as well because you can't punish the batter. He's already out and now the runners out too for punishment for the interference. Does that make sense? That's the rule that he's putting in place here. So they tell Ozzy this and they're gonna explain it. And Soler's like, okay, I have no idea what just happened. And Ozzy's like, what happened? And then Mookie Betts comes in and says, yeah, what's going on? And then he lets him know and Dave Roberts is like, I'm so confused, but I'll take the double play. I'm not gonna ask a single question. So he tells them, well, he's struck out. So Ozzy's out for the interference and Mookie goes, oh, classic. I have no idea how that would make sense, but I'll act like it does. Meanwhile, the first base coach comes up and says, there was one strike. It was one and one. It was one and one. It was one and one. It was one and one. I was like, yeah, it was one and one. And Manny, the ump's like, oh, what's up, dude? How are you doing? Glad we get a chance to say hi. It was one, one pitch. So if that, no, no, no, no, we're good. We'll figure this out. No, we're good. We're good. You go there and he's like, hey, it was one and one. Can you go tell him? It was one and one. So this ump, Manny goes to tell him, now Snicker is playing with his chain and he's like, well, the batter's out and Solaire's like, dude, I still don't know. Stop asking me. And Estherbrook's like, wait, what was the count? It was only one and one. So it's not a strikeout. They go check on the count. Everyone's hanging out. Everyone's confused. He's like, I think I got this, man. I think, I don't know. And they're trying to figure it out. They're like, we're gonna figure this one out. He's like, hey, Manny. Hey, Manny, Manny, come here, come here. Is this what happened? And the umpire says one and two, he goes back. He's like, yep, it was one and two. It's one and two count. He goes back, batter is out. Yeah. So he goes back to first, batter's out. There was only one out on the play and Ozzy's like, wait, I go back and him and Mookie are like, I guess so that makes sense. He's like, wait, what? No, that doesn't make sense. What's going on? And you can talk to the umpire and he's gonna ask him like, wait. So I go back to first. I don't get second base. He had called out though. He's like, cause, what? Cause I had no idea. I was just running. I didn't know Mookie's like this. And then they tell him, no, no, no, no, no, no. And he's, he probably tells them right there. Like, no, the batter's out for interference. Like, well, what? And then Mookie's like, oh, on the backswing, on the backswing. And Ozzy's like, oh, or he leaned into the catcher. And he's like, yeah, so he's out. They're like, why would I have been out? And so there's like, okay. So I don't get to continue the at bat. I'm still out. And Muncie's like, man, I got no idea. Don't ask me. I have no idea. Yeah. I mean, I was wild. He's like, what's going on here? So there you go. We've all learned a little bit. We're all touch smarter. You can take this knowledge.
