</header> After being rained out Monday, the Astros and Yankees opened their season at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday. Houston won the game 5-3 thanks to a late rally against New York's vaunted bullpen (box score).
The Astros scored the go-ahead run on an error by Dellin Betances. He picked up Carlos Correa's ground ball along the first base line, and shot-putted it over the head over Mark Teixeira at first base. Jose Altuve came around to score from second base. You can see video of the play right here.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi came out of the dugout to argue Correa interfered with the play because he was running on the grass and not inside the 45-foot line. And, well, Correa was running on the grass and not inside the 45-foot line. That's clear:

Easy call, the umps got it right.

 

[texansfan]

This must happen as well. The guy threw it way over his head.

• "There must be a throw before interference is called and the throw must be a quality throw."

 

[texansfan]

He should have hit him in the back with the ball.

There's no crying in baseball.

It's obvious at least one Yankee fan is crying.

Maybe I wasn't talking about you.

Do you have to think everything is about you?

Or maybe I was talking about you.

Oh and I just turned 51 on March 29th, thanks for the bday wishes.

Nope.

As Rule 6.01 (a) of the MLB rulebook states: "A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not."


The operative word there is "adjudged," and as DeMuth said "In my judgment he didn't impede or hinder the first baseman from fielding the ball. The pitcher launched it ... the runner does not have to be in a 45-foot baseline. Joe thinks he does."
