Grandal runs into the throw on purpose, a breakdown

bottom of the fourth inning in a lds playoff game zach grenky comes in he checks out the scoreboard he's like what's the situation or the situation it's seven to six houston's losing there's two runners on there's no outs a lot of runs have been scored already if you downloaded the draftking sportsbook app if you use promo code john boy when you downloaded it and you took the over in this game you've already won you're sitting pretty you're having fun cranky comes in and yasmani grand doll is the batter he's gonna face first who got a nice break earlier in the game because garcia had him two strikes throws that pitch probably strike three doesn't get the call later on in the back garcia throws the same exact pitch and now it's hit for a home run if you can hit it for a home run it's usually probably a strike also if it's in the strike zone so that's nice so now grand all's up again he's got two on he's looking to extend the lead that one fouled away need a new ball here we go pitch number two dribbler down the first base line they're going to come home to get the out and the ball skids away where'd it go what happened confusion it hit grand all who was running in the grass it gets away from the catcher the runner slides in he's safe he picks up the umpire just tabletops from tom allen just going for an absolute ride right here um just having a good time having a great time together they've bonded they will laugh about that and right away gran altuve maldonado are pointing like hey he's in the baseline come on i was like hey he's out that doesn't count illegal is that grinky's upset he's that's not even close i'm just like what he's like he's out of the baseline okay all all right all right i'll calm down that guy's taking a selfie this guy's holding up the magical cane in celebration if you don't know about the magical cane here you go gonna put the spell on alvarez another 3-2 he's stuck him out magic so the umpires get together like you're right time he's like yeah yeah i'm okay i'm okay tom you're right like yeah yeah i'm all right i'm all right okay let me dust you off back here tom's like all right we gotta figure this out everyone if you could lower your heads a little bit so you can hear me better please did he run out of the baseline what happened here is how he ran his uh you know he gets onto that grass pretty quick one foot on the grass two feet on the grass three feet on the grass four feet on the grass i brought up a bunch of other similar hits this season and see how grand all run ran see if he ever went on the grass no grass uh no grass no grass there no grass there no grass there no grass on that one and no grass on that one and a lot of grass on this one he ran uh on purpose in the way the only problem is per the rules that's totally legal the baseline only matters for plays at first base plays at home it doesn't matter and the runner gets to establish his own baseline so as long as he starts off that way and stays true to it he can run however he wants he just can't intentionally get in the way of the ball so they're gonna explain that to dusty right now and he's like what and dusty's like no no he ran out of the way and he said no it doesn't matter doesn't matter where he runs and helen's gonna say it's gotta be something intentional like if he throws his shoulder up or something like that and dusty's like well he got in the way and he says i don't think so dusty he was just running down there that's uh that's part of the play it's part of the play and dusty's like uh no he got in the way on purpose but it's just legal so the play stands and then granky another grounder down the baseline that's safe the next play is another grounder down the baseline well that's a little more in that's through more runs than another grounder to the first he ran normal that's an out and then another ground in the first he ran normal that's an out interesting play because per the rules it's legal which is a little bizarre they're saying that's the lane he took and if he didn't intentionally throw his arm up the ball just hit him i don't know to what lengths you can spin this you know can you run at the pitcher no but you're allowed to do this like per the rules i read a lot of umpire reviews and they said per the rules you're fine so if base is loaded and you hit one of the first baseman get in his way in the future run towards him i guess interesting but this one's brought to you by draftkings go to draftkings use the promo code john boy when you download it have some fun bet responsibly enjoy it you

Feel like this bullshits gonna happen again in the future and be called an out and its gonna be back to confusion

While it's technically legal, it definitely feels like it shouldn't be, and maybe the rules need adjusting slightly
