[QUOTE="gtbeak, post: 1004591, member: 3164"] I have to assume, or at least hope, that was an incorrect application of the rule by the umpire. My understanding is that the fielder can go where the ball takes him, and if that is in front of the bag as it was in this case, that is legal. Blocking only occurs when the fielder is blocking the bag without the ball. It's not actually a new rule, but rather a point of emphasis this season. Fielders around 2nd and 3rd have taken to camping out in front of the bag in recent years without the fear of being aggressively taken out by the runner. [/QUOTE]
