The one thing I’m still trying to figure out about the play at the plate
Posted on 5/25/24 at 9:07 pm

Yes, he was called out originally
Yes, the umpires convened and overturned the home plate umpire’s original (correct) call
Yes, there is no recourse to challenge or review the incorrectly reversed call
Yes, the batter stepped out of the box
And yet still, the thing that has me fricked up the most is that THE RUNNER NEVER TOUCHED HOME
In all of baseball history, when has a runner ever scored having never touched home? Can anyone provide an example or precedent for that?
This play will be studied by baseball enthusiasts and historians for millennia

If you are awarded home plate you do not have to touch

by rule you are awarded the base...he was called out, he didn't have to touch

You are telling me that a runner on third gets awarded home on a balk and he can just trot into the dugout and the run counts?!?

I'm not sure what is so hard to understand.
So you want the umpires to make him come back to 3rd base and jog down the line and touch home?
He was called out, went to the dugout, and almost 10 minutes later awarded home.

If he can be awarded home 15 minutes later, why would we not be allowed to challenge because of a time lapse?

You can’t triple challenge a double challenge

Damn no dude. Live the umpire called him out.
After a 10 minute clusterf0ck meeting of the umps, they came up with the balk and interference call.
Thus reversing the out call and awarding the base/run to the runner and 1st base to the batter.
He was awarded the base after the meeting. So no you need not touch the base in this situation.

The baulk I get
The catcher interference I get
I'd like a rational for the runner never touching home plate?

You're going to challenge the umpires decision that is not challengeable?
My biggest issue is that the umpires were fine with the original call until they went to commercial and the SC head coach talked to the umpire. Then they convened to discuss the issue.

I believe it's more about the overturned call. It was because in the umpires mind they made a mistake to not call the interference/balk. By calling the runner out and then awarding the base they are "correcting" their mistake. So, I don't think a normal balk scenario allows the runner to just leave the field. It's all about "correcting" a call.

Every second of it. I’ve watched hundreds, maybe thousands, of baseball games in my life. I’ve never seen a runner score when he didn’t touch home.
Maybe you have. Which is why I asked for an example or a precedent.
