things change, just like it changes in football and basketball. I rather them get the play right then, well, he was close enough! Also, if a guy slide over a bad and the ref seen it, he was out. So why cant a replay do that? If a ump see's the guy lift his foot off the base guess what? he's going to call im out too. Sometimes umps miss things. I dont mind if they get them correct. Its not like they challenge 5 play a game, its very limited.

Doesn't matter much in the end because the Cubs aren't even going to get 4 runs to tie what would have been the score.
My only issue with the call is that the runner didn't make contact with Contreras' leg before Contreras had the ball. Did Contreras make a move to block the plate before he had the ball? Ya. But did he have the ball when the block was made? Yup. |

As long as there are Umps behind the plate calling balls and strikes the "neighborhood play" shall remain. Some neighborhoods bigger than others.

If the Cubs cant get at least 6 innings out of their starters or Maddon simply wont let them try then they are going to get swept.

For some reason Puig is under the impression he hit a postseason HR a few years ago.

Rules 6.03(a)(3) and (4) Comment (Rule 6.06(c) and (d) Comment): If the batter interferes with the catcher, the plate umpire shall call “interference.” The batter is out and the ball dead. No player may advance on such interference (offensive interference) and all runners must return to the last base that was, in the judgment of the umpire, legally touched at the time of the interference. It doesn't say "shall call interference if the umpire believes he was interfered with," it says, "shall call interference." "If a batter strikes at a ball and misses and swings so hard he carries the bat all the way around and, in the umpire’s judgment, unintentionally hits the catcher or the ball in back of him on the backswing, it shall be called a strike only (not interference). The ball will be dead, however, and no runner shall advance on the play." The ball is ****ing dead, either way. Dead.

There is no way that rule is intended to be called on that play. Oh and also... lets take a gander at the paragraph ignored below what you quoted and above the red box in the tweet.

Batter out. Inning over.

"If, however, the catcher makes a play and the runner attempting to advance is put out, it is to be assumed there was no actual interference and that runner is out—not the batter. " So, if a batter interferes and a catcher throws out someone trying to steal second and is tagged out, then he's out. Otherwise, the play is dead. The runner isn't the batter, you brain dead ****ing Cub-ass-sucking scum. You're a perfect example of that fanbase of baseball-illiterate drunks.
