Conflicted given the final result, but this was quite a disputed call

Stone is right: what are catchers supposed to do? That’s a harsh call.

I know what Crash Davis would call it.
If their issue is his left foot was on the outside edge of the plate when he was waiting for the ball, that is I guess correct by the letter of the law but doesn’t fit the spirit of the rule.

Bad call. No idea what they want the catcher to do other than never touch home plate.
It does seem New York leans heavily to calling these plays in that manner.
As usual…Lindsay is on it:

Always enlightening. I love the explanation of how the replay booth reached its conclusion, even if wrong.
Also god damn Bochy’s head really is as big as they say. Not figuratively, the man’s got a giant noggin.

That saunter to the umps looked painful.
Catchers pay a price.

Angel’s Urshela out for the year with fractured pelvis. Injured tried to beat out a double play and looks like he hyperextended his hip after he hit the bag.

Bochy is a very large man, larger than most people realize. Yes, he’s only 6’3" or 6’4", but he has enormous hands, head, and I’ve never heard Mrs. Bochy complain.
It’s got its own solar system.

The rant about Colonel Sanders and the Pentaverate is also classic
Heims doing the review ear muff sign rounding first on his HR trot last night was a nice touch.

One of the comments says “Can’t wait for this to become a bobblehead next year.” That would be hilarious.
