Based on the signal from the umpire, I can only figure it was called catcher's interference for blocking home plate. He was pointing about 5 feet in front of the plate when he was signaling safe.

It's possible. The umpires have the right to go to the headsets for a rules check, and they said the call stood. Who knows. Hinch will probably say something or we'll see something from the pool reporter who talks to the umpires.J.D. c/o 05 said:EastCoastAgNc said:

If this was the case I don't think they would've review it. I think he was just signaling the catcher had dropped the ball. Yuli hadn't actually touched the base yet.

Ump did give the safe signal before Yuli ever touched the base. I think that was probably a mistake on his part. I still think he was just signaling that the catcher dropped the ball. JMO.

Cole needs to throw 115 pitches tonight to try to save this bullpen

Who cares if he's the strike out leader when your job is to not get runs across the plate.
Not impressed with Cole this year, been much more impressed with Wade Miley despite the much lower K rate

Media: "Would you have argued he blocked the plate?"
Hinch: "Yea, that was gonna be my last play either way"
