Unless you have seen the entire play, I am not sure how anyone can make a call from the sitting position at home. There is just not enough shown here.

MC. Of course, I have the benefit of seeing it in slow-mo from a better angle than any of the umpires.

Thanks JJ.

Your right, easy call. MC. Definitely dropped the shoulder.

I was watching in real time and told my wife they were going to eject him. Didn't take replay for me. I thought the runner's interference was a lame call.

Once again, we have a runner getting into a situation where he needs to cover up (protect himself) in a collision.

"He lowered his shoulder" - Really? The runner bent over at the waist and put both arms up to protect his face and head!

What is he supposed to do, go in with his hands in his pockets? Yeah, a lot of you say he should have given himself up... I do not agree.

I agree, that's what should have been called, U3 might not have seen it but U2 or PU should have been able to see it clearly.

As Rich said, sometimes you are just out - F5 has the ball he was on the inside of the play as you are taught - the runner had a path to the bag and chose to try and dislodge the ball via contact.

Thanks
