I believe that rule is clear. It clearly states an exception to leaving the batter’s box:
“A defensive player attempts to make a play on a runner at ANY base.”
It’s pretty clear the catcher was making an attempt on a runner

Wtf? The runner is not FORCED on a steal of home just like on a steal of second or third. The runner has to be tagged.

Neal absolutely screwed it up and got worse the batter screwed up worse
The umps still made the wrong call but if the batter didn’t go full idiot all he had to do was take a free shot at Neal’s head and it’s an auto run

Neal is the reason the guy was at 3rd, but Neal played the steal of home perfectly. He left a wide open path to the base.

Neal only reacted like he did BECAUSE the batter started out of the batters box

Meauxjeaux,
You can’t argue with fans that are so blinded by their own fandom. Neal clearly messed up the play, giving the batter no opportunity to swing. He was still in the batters box when the pitch was released, but of course started retreating when Neal barged up to the front of the plate. You are right, everyone else is wrong.

Your review of Neal would have been correct if the batter had stayed in the batters box, which he didn't. He clearly had stepped out, before Neal moved forward, changing how the play should be ruled. Neal had the right to move as he did, as soon as the runner stepped out.

Please don’t let my mom see you kick no puppies lol. Now back to regular scheduled programming.

I think what really screwed the umps mind is that Neil waved his right arm at the batter as him to clear him out. Watch the replay team good. Why did he wave his right arm that way. Had the batter never left the box when he saw the runner Neil would have interfered with the runner. It was a unorthodox move but a catcher but a great athletic move. How many times did Mike Jordon get called for traveling with his mastered criss over dribble. It looks like traveling when a actually it isn't. What Neil did was perfectly Legal just weird and confused people

In reading further post, I see that they have a misguided belief I was saying he only had to touch the plate with the ball to get the out, as if the runner was forced.
When I said, “put the glove on the plate”, I thought it’s inherently obvious that a tag play has to be tag.
It’s like if I tell my son “hey take the car to the store”, I think it’s pretty obvious I’m not telling him to pick the car up and carry it down to the store but he actually has to get in and drive it. Lol.

Now you are making EXCUSES for a bad call. Neal is obviously not the most experienced catcher and definitely made a mistake. So did the batter and his stepping out of the box before Neal could have executed catcher's interference is the main point. You just ignored that. To quote you "It's that simple."

At the end of the day, what Neal did was fine if it was a step off.
Not in a pitched ball.
That’s my point. It’s a pitched ball.
Neal noticed the runner during Herring’s movement to the plate and should have stayed put, received the ball, moved to his left and tagged the runner coming in to the plate.
Instead, on a pitched ball, he jumped into the hitting zone with the ball on the way… endangered himself and created chaos. What the batter was doing is irrelevant.

This thread is not about the whole call. It’s about only Neal’s effort in receiving the ball and tagging the runner.

You never ever ever come into the plate zone on a pitch.

I said the same thing yesterday but was downvoted and ridiculed by the dumbasses on this board.
You never come into the plate on a pitch and i dont care if the batter stepped out or not.
Start downvoting me

You are so wrong here. Neal handled the situation absolutely perfectly according to the rules.
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.
They wont understand what you just said. They are right and we are wrong.
