now man up.

Goldschmidt made a wise and legal running play. Rule 5.09 (b) (1) reads, “Any runner is out when he runs more than three-feet away from his base path to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner’s base path is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely…” (The OBR uses the word basepath for baseline).

Simply said, “The only time a runner has a restricted baseline is when he is avoiding a tag.” Goldschmidt was not avoiding a tag and by rule was within his rights to travel from third to home in fair territory.
