re: The one thing I’m still trying to figure out about the play at the plate

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.
Because no baseball player is just going to not go touch the plate. It may be allowed but nobody is going to do it.

Chris Chambliss didn't touch home on a game winning homer in a championship game. The fans stormed the field preventing him from getting to the plate. Later the umps sent him to the field to do so but the bases were all taken by the fans. Btw, by rule he was out but the umps decided to not call it. After that year, this special situation was written into the rules that you don't have to touch the base.

I mean, they challenged and the umps called a baulk to save their asses and get the run in at home.
Enough said. It’s exactly what happened. They didn’t need to send the runner out to the field to score the run after the overturn.
It is what it is.
It happened. And that was their justification. And how to work their way out of it.
The end.
ETA I’m not saying I agree with the logic behind the call. I’m saying that the baulk call was their bail out. That run was coming in no matter what.

They didn’t challenge. It wasn’t a “challengable” play. The idiot you are responding to doesn’t know what he’s talking about

Yes, they obviously challenged a play that isn’t even challengable.
Please exit the thread. You’ve dumbed it down enough.

The USC coach certainly convened with the umpires and the umpires made a decision. You can argue semantics all you want for your dense intellectual capacity on this. I don’t care.

Well, then explain what that was. You can’t. So, I don’t really care what you call what happened today.

That’s not a challenge. Thanks for acknowledging what I said is correct.

So... I wasn't able to see the entire scenario - I'll watch tonight - but from what I could see/hear, KP literally said it isn't a challenge-able play and the umps convened themselves during the TV timeout to self-review.
USCe could not and did not challenge. Is that correct?

There was a challenge by the USC dugout. The call was changed. Again, for someone who can’t understand why the USC runner didn’t come out of the dugout to run to home plate, you are the furthest thing from correct or intelligent.
Maybe watch another 1,000 baseball games?

The USC coach said he brought it to the umpires in his press conference. Again, call it what you want.

Correct. No official challenge was issued. But apparently the USC coach convened with the umps after the play happened to question whether Neal was on or in front of the plate, and they decided that, even though they didn’t see it originally, he was.
And then they spent 15 minutes talking about it.
And to my point in OP, the runner stole home and yet never touched home.
