Unlike Ichiro's play, where he was well to the right of the foul line as he headed for home, Blanco's baseline was on the line directly between second and first base (see 0:35 into the video). He then started his deviation from the line as he approached Craig, and went even further away from the line to avoid the tag. When he hit the dirt, his hand was another two feet or so away from the bag.
There is no tag attempt at 0:35. When the tag attempt does occur (a second or two later), the runner is headed directly to the base. Not even close to an out-of-the-baseline violation IMO.
