re: 3 Facts about disputed play at home

This is exactly what happened. The SC coach set this up and one of the umps took the bait which is really corrupt. The umps inserted themselves into the game based on a sold assumption that in most cases like this a catcher would step across or on the plate to stop a play like this.

Now it’s ok to “game” the umpires but the assumptions made on this play were flawed and “oh, By the way the coach forgot to tell the batter not to back out of the box. Given the situation the coach got lucky and stole an illegitimate run. Thankfully in the end it didn’t work. Baseball Karma I guess..
