I'm trying to remember...the fielder has to give way, but only if not in the act of fielding, right? Obviously Castro was in the act of fielding!

Yeah, that was the rule stated as to why Prior was out when running into Giles in 2003... because Giles was going for the ball. A runner can't get knowingly get in the way of the fielder making a play or in the way of his throw.

Gameday just put up the Sappelt TOOTBLAN.

Wow, Maxwell was barely half the way out in CF. Why would Sappelt run there? That would have been close even if Campana was running... and Sappelt is no where near as fast as Campana.

Sappelt tried to kill the Astros pitcher. Seemed like he avoided major damage though.
