Balks, Bases and the Bandit
Balk talk has been in the true spirit of the B thread, but I have another question related to the base umpires.
I thought I knew the rules about fair and foul balls, but during a recent Brewers game, I became confused.
In the infield if a base umpire (1st or 3rd) deems that a ball in the infield passes over first or third base, it is deemed fair regardless of where it lands (?), according to the broadcast and the umpires in the game. Why then is a slicing line drive down the right field line that clearly passes first base in fair territory and then slices foul considered a foul ball. Deep in the corners if the ball lands in foul territory it is foul.
Questions
1. When or where does the over the base rule for the infield stop being applied?
2. or in other words how far beyond the bases does the over or inside the base rule no longer apply?
3. and finally does anyone else remember the kissing Bandit, Morganna? Her Bs qualify for this thread.
