i wasnt about the bobble thing rofl
but using your logic the catcher could block the plate literally as soon as the outfielder lets go of the ball.
no, mlb got this call wrong because they didnt want to change the call on the field, its as simple as that. he blocked the plate, which the rule clearly states you cant do.
as i said earlier, there was a play at the plate for the royals today and the catcher was behind the base line, like any competent non-retard catcher would do
Brah...no, just no.
Watch the play again, he has the right to go catch the ball. What is he supposed to do, move out of the way because the runner is coming and let the ball go right past him so the other runner can advance and possibly score too?
He literally goes to catch the ball, and in the process it just so happened that brought him into the base line right where the runner was...which he's allowed to do, he has the right to catch the ball no matter what.
