The current rule is the same as a GRD - 2 bases from the time of the pitch. Intentional deflection by a defensive player makes it 2 bases from the time of deflection. The rub here is that without the ball being deflected out of play, the run would have scored (2 outs, runner at 1B left on the pitch, and was almost to 3B when the ball went out of play).

My point is that I understand why some people are grumbling about that play last night, and are crying for a change to the existing rules.

My antivax niece just posted something stupid again, part of which was "a virus with a 98% survival rate". I always wonder why the folks who push the "98% survival" line never do the math that 2% of 360 Million = 7,200,000 dead. Like wiping one of the big metro areas off the map.

One of my other friends has been arguing with him on FB. He claims all of the people in "one state" who are hospitalized are vaxxed.
I don''t understand why some people want to believe the conspiracies and reject all other knowledge.

“I just rode,” said Neff after the race. “The legs just showed up to the party. It’s more fun when they do that!”

If I had 200 friends I’m sure I could point to 4 of them I can’t stand.
