re: The balk call was correct

You probably never even heard of that rule before today. I have. It could have been executed better, but Neal didn't touch the plate or get in front of it.
Millazo probably would have handled that better.

Well. by rule, he did. He is not allowed to make contact with the hitter, and not allowed to step on or beyond home plate. He did none of those things.
You can argue that him being beyond home plate was a judgement call and that it was close. However, the umps on field call said he did not (hence the out call) and the play is non-reviewable at that point, so even if were holding the pitchers dick on the mound as the pitch was released, it should not have mattered (see above that play is non-reviewable)
There is no possible rule explanation that makes him correct. None.

Bottom line is. When you are in doubt of a call you should default to what makes sense. Did the catcher interfere with the batter? no. Did the pitcher deceive the runner or batter? No. Did the catcher unjustly impede the runner to home? no.
So stop trying to be dicks and just go with the call that makes sense.

Your own post shows what has to happen in order for your bolded part to be called. But Neal neither stepped on or in front of home plate. It can’t get much more straightforward than that but you didn’t bold it for some weird reason.

But was it reviewable after the initial call of out? The powers that be really haven't acknowledged that the initial call even happened. What's the standard on overturns in baseball anyway? Is it "indisputable video evidence" like in football? That was nowhere close to indisputable.

Well there is a rule about what Neal can or can't do in that situation but it doesn't say anything about "waiting for the ball to cross the plate".
Are you just making shite up in your head wanting it to be true?

The announcers said he never touched or went in front of the plate. Even SC fans have admitted the call was wrong.
Pretending to be neutral, but just a dumbarse doesn't win you points.

This is indeed what they are falling back on, but its some really weak bullshite. There is a still shot of the ump making the out call, and there was a significant amount of time between the play and the discussion to overturn it.

Imagine linking an umpire telling us all the umpire was correct.

Please explain what catcher did wrong
Posted on 5/25/24 at 7:10 pm to Breauxfessor
Not if batter bails, which he did

Well, since Neal didn’t touch the plate or step in front of it, thanks for proving us right.
I'm not saying they got the call right.
I'm telling you what they called.
so the guy saying they didn't call a balk is wrong. they called BOTH a balk and catcher's interference.
the balk advances all base runners, and the catcher's interference awards 1st base to the batter.
I personally think they shanked the call, but this is WHAT they called.
