| Batter hits a ball to the rightfield gap. As he's rounding first, with the ball still rolling in the outfield, the first baseman is clearly standing in the way just inside of first as the runner makes the turn for second. Although there is no contact, the runner has to come to almost a complete stop, shift his feet, and get his momentum going forward again. This same runner, after the ball is recovered and fired in to second, is put out by a short margin at second base. What's the right call? And would it be the same if the runner was just barely put out at third base?
