I have never seen that (ball off the bat on a throw back to the pitcher), and my wife says I watch far, far too much baseball.
I think they hit this right by the rules, but it ignores the fact that the ump called it a dead ball well before the run scored.
Once he calls it a dead ball it doesn't matter whether he blew the call - it's a dead ball.

The dead ball call would be more compelling if there was any doubt as to the outcome of the play.
My understanding of the Sosh rule is that if you substituted Mr. Sandoval for Mr. Fielder there, it is definitely NOT Kosher.Lowrielicious said:Is this one kosher or not these days?
I say yes.
What a fucking stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid way to have this series potentially end. I know Shoo was in the box but he stuck his arm out in front of the catcher. This is a fucking joke and I'm not even rooting for the Jays.
I didn't know Canadians threw things! (Oh, crap, now they are reviewing the play. Hmmm.)
So, are they just talking to New York about the rule, or are they looking at it?

That's like a ref blowing the whistle in football and the player continues to run while the defense stops playing.
He called it dead.semsox said:
Yes, he should not have called it dead, but he did. How do you unring that bell?
Choo already stands on top of the plate, and then he holds his bat out like that. Blue Jays only good argument is that his bat is over the plate when the ball hits it. If it's in the box, call is going to stand.
I believe he held his bat in the strike zone. To me it was interference but dumb of Martin regardless.
Not near a TV, so have not seen the play. But what happens if TOR plays this under protest?
Is that still a thing given replay? Assuming yes...

The guy on the other end of that thing has to be saying "I hope you guys have good fake mustaches"
Thats how I understand it also.InsideTheParker said:
So I wont post the one of our illustrious 3b tripping over 2nd base while looking at a cake.
They keep saying that time was not called but it absolutely was.
They are going to come back and reverse it again. I can almost guarantee it.

It does matter in principle, and I would argue that if the 3rd baseman was playing in for a bunt, or anything along those lines where there was any indication that they had a chance at the runner, the call would be different. The fact that they had no shot at the runner is what is deciding this.
