Reds/Pirates Catcher Obstruction (7.13)
Did New York invoke Rule 7.13 because Mesoraco appeared to have to adjust his path halfway down the line to avoid the Pirates' catcher? Certainly they don't expect a catcher to not have his foot on the plate while taking a throw for a force out?
Interestingly, the Pirates asked if Mesoraco blocked the plate later in this game and New York said he didn't, but he did miss the tag. If anybody has that video, I'd like to see it too.
