Uh, then they'd just start faking it.

This isn't little league...

The batter has the right to the base path under pretty much any circumstances. You're not supposed to hit the 1B because he isn't really obstructing you when you try to run through 1B (usually you run out towards the RF line and he stretches back towards the infield). I've never seen somebody do a takeout slide into first on a close play, and don't know what the ruling would be, but I can only imagine that it would result in some chin music with the quickness.

LOL at anybody in this thread talking about the play when they haven't even watched it. Takes two seconds to pull up a replay on MLB.com

Outfielder hitting the wall =/= 1B getting hit by an opponent.

now that we know you haven't even watched the play, you can stop talking in this thread like you have. I was debating with you with the assumption that you actually saw the play in question. How silly I was.

What I was talking about had nothing to do with the play in question, it was a question of the rules (unless an OF hit the wall during this play as well. Hell I haven't watched it, did it).

If a base-runner intentionally hits a 1B such that it causes him to get hurt (either "tackles" him or something), then I would think that the runners should be held up. Obviously the runners themselves won't stop, nor should they, but I'd think the ump would hold the runners. Now in the case that an OF runs to hard and drops the ball after hitting the wall, that's all on him and the runners should be allowed to advance as far as possible.

If youre on base you keep running until the ump tells you to stop

Agree 100%

Edit: Oops, my mistake Punk, I went back and read what you wrote and you were refering to base runners holding, not being allowed to. I misread what you wrote, my fault.

Nobody broke the rules here, why should the Sox be penalized? It was just kind of a bad/unfortunate play...Cano should have made a better throw, and Minky got unlucky that he fell back right as Lowell got to the bag. You can even see Lowell twisting his body somewhat to try to get out of the way. This is just a regular baseball play with a freak injury. Someone posted a vid of a pitcher getting hit on a comeback...same deal, you wouldn't stop there for some reason.
