Why was Lucroy set up to block the plate before the ball was there? Doesn't his moving inside and outside infer he was blocking the plate before the ball was there? Isn't that what MLB doesn't want the catcher doing?HvilleAggie said:
I don't like the outcome but I agree with this. Lucroy moved inside to receive the throw, not necessarily to block the plate. Jake coming down the line chose an inside track before the ball arrived which tells me he chose not to shy away from contact. Result was unfortunate but avoidable.

I guess recent Astros success = recent Astros fans basic knowledge of the rules. You leave the base bath, you are likely to be called out, whatever the situation. Calm down.

Unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score. If, in the judgment of the umpire, the catcher without possession of the ball blocks the pathway of the runner, the umpire shall call or signal the runner safe.
