Dick Allen Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I wonder why it isn't reviewable. I would think it would be pretty easy to determine on a replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand balls and strikes, but they review catcher's interference. They review baserunner interference. Why not batter interference?

soxforlife05 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) The catcher didn't sell the interference well enough. In the heat of the moment that's hard to think about doing but it's a call that a guy like AJ would have gotten. I think the reason the umpire didn't think to call it because the catcher went out of his way to get the throw off cleanly. This might not have been as obvious to the umpire that there was a major obstruction at the time.

In the heat of the moment that's hard to think about doing but it's call that a guy like AJ would have gotten. I think the reason the umpire didn't think to call it because the catcher went out of his way to get the throw off cleanly (and this might not have been as obvious to the umpire). Avila said almost exactly this after the game. “He was directly in front of me and I had to throw over him,” Avila said. “According to the rules there has to be some sort of contact. Problem is, if I throw normal there I smoke him in the head. Next time I’ll just throw it and hit him, but that’s not something I would wanna do. That’s unfortunate that’s how it is. Your reaction is to kind of get out of his way and make the play but next time if there’s a batter in front -- I’d feel bad. “(Correa) was in front of me but (the umpire) said he ducked. He’s 6’4 and I’m 5’10 so there’s still a difference there. He was in front of me. I couldn’t step through it and tried to throw over him. Like I said, next time if that happens again, I’ll just throw it like I normally would.” Is that what we want? Do your jobs, umps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I'm at the point now where I assume the White Sox will have every one of these go against them. Very frustrated, similar to shysocks. This is now kind of going back to 2013. I just feel like we have had an extended run of crap hit us and we always end up eating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just copying his quote, but you're right and it is worth pointing out. Avila was incorrect. Astros manager also said something about how the runner would have gone back to first and the inning would have continued anyway, which is bull. How do these guys not know the rules?
