That would be cool. Maybe you could quit your current job and be the curator. -
Except Soto did go around him. Soto was on the bag and Neto backed into him. If Neto is already there that’s a different story. If I’m standing on 1B and the 1B comes directly on the bag to make a catch do I have to vacate the bag to avoid contact? No. -
In this case the infield fly rule is called before the incident occurs. Common sense. The base runner doesn’t make contact intentionally. In fact it’s the fielder who initiates contact while Soto has his foot on the bag. The “interference” has no affect on the play. Common sense. Umps judgement.

It’s an interesting thread to revisit. Sports Guy wasn’t a fan: “A few days later and I’m still scratching my head at this move. I just don’t get it.” Then: “It is a head scratcher because the return doesn’t justify the trade. Elias seems to think it is but I think that’s wrong and, more importantly, it’s because I feel he is value building a farm system today over winning today. I think that’s wrong too.” Lots of other interesting posts.

People are looking way too far into this. The runner can see where everything and make a decision to go around. He decided not to and was called out. I understand that he has a right to the bag but the baseline is also 3 feet each way to go around the fielder. The umpires normally give you more discretion to go around as well. Same if it was a ground ball to Gunnar at Shortstop. The runner can run in front and behind him. -

They're separate calls on the same play. Interference is called when it happens because the ball is dead when it is called. They're not going to wait until the play is over to call it. Saying all of that, I do think more judgement needs to be part of the equation. I've seen a situation in a game where there's a slow groundball to the second baseman, they charge the ball and it's clear they're likely not going to get an out, so they take a step or 2 backwards to force the runner going from first to second to run into them, causing interference. We used to teach the SS to stop in front of the runner if they're close to them to get the interference call so that the lead runner gets out. -

What about the validity of the stats themselves? Stuff I have read questions that. Where are you with that?
