The call at the plate was correct.
How is that the correct call? The catcher made zero effort to tag the runner, he just stuck his elbow out to block him. I don't claim to be an expert on the rules of baseball, so I'm legitimately asking why this wasn't interference.

He was trying to tag him. In baseball, especially with catchers, you tag with two hands. You don't just stick your glove out there and let the runner knock the ball out of your glove. His elbow is thrown up because he clearly was caught off guard by a player flying over him and he his trying to move both of his arms (together) up and to the side to reach the runner while not letting him get to the plate. You can be in front of the plate when you have the ball. The reason the play looked so odd was bc Freeman was out by a mile at the plate and did everything he could to try to avoid the tag (as he should). There was no foul play by the catcher.
