Not really. Worth noting that he'd have been safe if not for the block.

Beyond the danger of the collisions, that would be interference at every other bag. It was always silly that you had a different standard at the plate.

Was the correct call. Not sure why the Twins manager is losing his mind. Sanchez clearly blocked the plate preventing the Jays from scoring.

I liked that quirk. Higher stakes, everything on the table.

And No one ever said that Gurriel was a genius.

I liked that quirk. Extra drama, everything on the table.

And No one ever said that Gurriel was a genius.


is it because the catcher was standing in foul territory and that the runner is trying to score from foul territory?
