re: First baseman had wrong foot on the bag restricting his ability to stretch for the throw

It wasn't a good throw, but a good defensive 1st baseman moves his feet to the left and makes the catch, no matter where the base runner is... the fielder has the right to catch the throw, no matter where the baserunner is.

This is a joke I hope. MLB first basemen don’t hang on to that throw all of the time. He practically had to face plant into the runners knees to catch the ball. Could have been caught? Sure would have been tremendous. Should it have been caught? Hell no
