I've seen some odd calls due to this rule, but he clearly put his foot out to block the plate before the ball got there. It had nothing to do with the ball taking him in that path.

Rule changed, catchers need to learn to adapt, its gonna be hard but most people have done it just fine.

I have no problem with that call. If you can't run over the catcher then he should not be in the base path.

I've been watching a ton of MLB this past week and saw several cases they reviewed and technically could have reversed the call, but they let it stand with an out.

They really just need to get rid of this rule all together.
