Tie goes to runner. Good call.

No such thing.
(But good call none the less).
Birk may have the weakest arm of any 2nd baseman in the SEC.

He just won first team all defense....

His range is much better and that wasn't a bad throw. He won it because he only made 2 errors this season. That's not very hard to "get".

All I know is arguing with strangers on the internet. Just thought I'd throw that in...looks like he worked hard to make those improvements to the defensive side of his game.
quote:If his range was so bad he would not have backhanded the ball to make the throw in the first place. He does not have the greatest arm, but his range and defense in general this year has been stellar. Even his double play turn is significantly improved.quote:I know, and I just don't get it.

Although technically it's not a rule, in practice you almost always see an umpire err on the side of the runner if it looks like a tie.

Because that's what you've been told. I bet it's closer to 50/50 on ones that look like a tie.
I think it's a tie, which should go to the runner. However that has not been the rule enforced with some of the umps we've had from the SEC this year.
Well I played baseball for 20+ years including 2 years in college and it's what I experienced not what I was told. Admittedly I haven't played in 10 years so maybe the game has changed.
Actually think Homan could have been a split second quicker with his dish to second.
He could have called it either way and it would be hard to argue he's wrong.
In the game yesterday Homan flipped the ball to Birk for the 3rd out of the inning. He could have just run into the dugout, but he stood on the base and looked for the out call before he got off the bag. At least they addressed the issue that we can't count on umps making the correct call so don't come off bag even when obvious.
The fact that it was even that close on a ball hit only fairly sharply to a fast left handed hitter says Birks did as well as he could have.

The rule states that the batter runner must beat the throw/catch to the bag.
The unwritten rule of "the tie goes to the runner is safe" is not the rule it's a myth.
If the umpire sees a tie, the runner should be called out by rule because that runner didn't beat the throw/catch at the bag.
