Seems to me your trying to guess why LaRoche went into foul territory. One could equally assume that he went into foul territory to avoid getting plowed into by the BR, who made no attempt to veer away from LaRoche as LaRoche approached the ball.
Suffice it to say this could have gone either way, and I would have chosen to give the defense the benefit of the doubt here.
