i'm confused. ball wasn't caught and he touched the base. what do the rules say?

[Namaste]

Oh dear

[MiamiHomer]

i'm confused. ball wasn't caught and he touched the base. what do the rules say?

Once he started back to 1st, he needed to touch 2nd again before going to 3rd.

[Mainge]

I swear to fucking god this team is fucking retarded on the bases.

That doesnt make sense. He touched the bag. Doesnt matter outside of that

[MiamiHomer]

That doesnt make sense. He touched the bag. Doesnt matter outside of that

It most definitely does. He made a clear attempt to retreat. That's like saying a guy that went on a hit and run on a fly ball and had past 2nd base doesn't need to touch it again before heading back to 1st. It works both ways.

[Madman81]

where is that in the rules

[AdamRavs]

I would see if the ball was caught you have to retouch. I understand both sides. Not fun watching them fuck up innings already today.

[Mainge]

That doesnt make sense. He touched the bag. Doesnt matter outside of that

It does, unfortunately.

[Madman81]

the difference relative to the flyout situation is that an out has not been made in this situation

[MiamiHomer]

I have no desire to look through the MLB rule book but I'm 100% certain that is the rule.
