Sorry, I tried to paint a mental picture. Let me try one more time.
As the catcher stretched for the throw, he held his foot on the plate after a slight bobble, pulling him up the line. As he came up, his pivot foot was straddling the line. As he went to throw to 1st, his pivot foot came up and R3ran into it spinning the catcher around with no throw.
I must admit, if the throw was made and was errant, I would have made the same call. I think 
Thanks all for your input! |
The runner cannot go in standing up and make contact. It doesn't matter where the catcher's pivot foot was.
