Rule 7.08
David Murphy, Daily News Staff Writer
"7.08 -Any runner is out when -- (a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner’s baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely; or (2) after touching first base, he leaves the baseline, obviously abandoning his effort to touch the next base

He was out.— PhillyFan127- He was safe.— sla6yer
- Umpire Gibson has a brother who runs numbers out of Vegas. The smart money got the game outcome it was looking for tonight.— Claudio Vernight
- the rule doesn't concern me as much as the same umpire calling Victorino out earlier in the season in almost the exact same situation.— jgizow44
- Gibson belongs in our bullpen because he sucks.— hey buddy
- Moot point. Atlanta lost. Try again.— juliusman3
- Who cares. When Howard and Utley were out, the team found a way to win smart with small ball. Now they are back, and everyone wants a HR at every at bat, so get ready for another slump.— n62
- Let's face it, he was out, but that's not the problem. Brainless Werth getting picked of second AGAIN; Valdez not getting a bunt down; and finally star players unable to drive in RISP (you hear me Victorino)?— Byter
Greg Gibson is a dead ringer for SC Senator Lindsey Graham.- FYI, Victorino is not a star player, never was!— luterow
Comment removed.
It doesn't matter, Howard tagged Bourne and it could be seen clearly on the replay. It's a bad break for the Phillies who could have gained a ground on the Braves who lost later that evening in Colorado.— sdgeiger- Jay, how large is your "watse?"— mick314
- YES-bad umpiring--stupid Werth---BUT when your clean up hitter strikes out 3 times--while making 25 million--????? big problems in mudville--------2011 anybody?— richweb
n62, brilliant, the phils are better off without howard and utley in the lineup. they were playing well for a stretch, but players like gload, valdez, and the like, will be exposed if playing every day over a long period of time. you must be suffering from ritard syndrome.— CosmoK
