Instead of runners on a 1B and 2B with zero outs, there was only a runner on 1B with one out.

I'm really not talking about this play in particular. There was a collision in the plate in extra innings earlier in the postseason which was treated as a routine out on the field. Possible, however, that the catcher, in bracing for the collision, never actually tagged the runner. I'll sit back with a bowl of popcorn the first time a play like THAT is challenged and overturned.
