It was clearly a pitch.
You never ever ever come into the plate zone on a pitch.
It’s that simple.
There’s 1 million other pieces of that play that we can discuss all day long, not touching the plate, batter moving out of batter box, etc.
but bottom line is it was a fundamental frick up at catcher

Still didn’t violate the rule

You idiots all want to have hot takes but you just make yourselves look stupid AF because you end up posting dumb shite like this.

You are so wrong here. Neal handled the situation absolutely perfectly according to the rules.

Neal’s only fault that sequence was not blocking up 1 of the 2 balls Guidry bounced in front of the plate to keep the guy off 3rd.

Perhaps, but he fundamentally fricked up after the batter fundamentally fricked up and stepped out of the box, which is an automatic strike.

You realize that a batter is allowed to swing at a pitch, right? The batter could have knocked Neal in the back of the head and it would have been catcher's interference.

Well that's not the rule.
And what is your hot take on the batter being outside the box during the pitch?

That’s correct but the batter stepped out before that which is an automatic strike.
The umps ignored that altogether.

I know what the rule is and I know what the play is.
Neil should’ve been clocked in the back of the head with 100 mile an hour swing.
If he stays crouched even with a stupid arse one kneel down stuff, he catches the ball puts the glove on the plate and runner is out.
You gain absolutely zero by moving onto the plate like he did. Whether he actually touched it or went in front of it or not.

The batter exited the box to get out of the way of the runner (which should have negated the entire play with an auto 3rd strike since it was a pitch) and Neal didn’t touch the plate or cross it, so please tell us exactly what he did wrong here? He was within the rule and was set to easily beat the runner. With the batter out of the box, there was no risk to him from a swing.

How long do you think his arms are?

I'm not disputing that, I'm just agreeing that Neal didn't "play it perfectly".

Automatic 2 strikes if both feet leave the box. Regardless of if the catcher touched home plate, before that the batter leaves the batters box mid pitch. That is the 3rd strike and 3rd out. All before the questionable interference and balk.

Automatic 2 strikes since there was a runner on base.
I wouldn't expect people like the OP to comprehend as they don't even know the rule they are espousing to be experts on in the first place.

That’s all fine and dandy, but I’m not focusing on the batter here. I’m focusing on 1kneals shite decisions at C.

You guys think in the heat of that play, Neil has any opportunity to see or even think about what the batter is doing
And you call me a troll? Lol.

Did the batter have a telephone pole? He would need a telephone pole since he wasn't even in the box.

That’s an odd thing to focus on given all of the shite decisions made by the umpiring crew, and the batter’s shite decision which should have negated the play entirely.
