The 2nd play was not an error on Andrus, it was an error on the 1B.

 

Well now it's two errors.

If that's the rule, then yeah. Choo had no intention of blocking the throw.

 

© He interferes with the catcher’s fielding or throwing by stepping out of the batter’s box or making any other movement that hinders the catcher’s play at home base. EXCEPTION: Batter is not out if any runner attempting to advance is put out, or if runner trying to score is called out for batter’s interference.

Rule 6.06© Comment: If the batter interferes with the catcher, the plate umpire shall call “interference.” The batter is out and the ball dead. No player may advance on such interference (offensive interference) and all runners must return to the last base that was, in the judgment of the umpire, legally touched at the time of the interference.

If, however, the catcher makes a play and the runner attempting to advance is put out, it is to be assumed there was no actual interference and that runner is out—not the batter. Any other runners on the base at the time may advance as the ruling is that there is no actual interference if a runner is retired. In that case play proceeds just as if no violation had been called.

If a batter strikes at a ball and misses and swings so hard he carries the bat all the way around and, in the umpire’s judgment, unintentionally hits the catcher or the ball in back of him on the backswing before the catcher has securely held the ball, it shall be called a strike only (not interference). The ball will be dead, however, and no runner shall advance on the play.

This is one of the strangest innings ever.

Pompey just kind of tripped the catcher...they might get two outs on this.

 

the place is gonna go insaneeeeeeeeee

I'm not sure I've seen 3 errors on 3 straight plays. Impressive.

 

Blue Jays loudest baseball stadium I've ever heard. WOW.

 

 

I think he is arguing just for more time for his reliever

Here comes the challenge

Being in a dome helps.

The thing is, the ump immediately throws his hands up and signals dead ball. You can't do that and then say play on, that's not fair to the defenders

 

Holy defensive meltdown batman

That was my issue...the ump called time. Horrible that he did but defense never had a fair shot.

Look up 6.03A

 

That is the one they keep citing on the TV broadcast

They would have had no chance anyway.

They would have had no chance anyway.

I thought their might have been a 5% chance based upon my look. Would have taken the perfect throw and a good (legal) block of the plate. Would have been tough but I don't know for sure...you are probably right but we'd never know cause defense never had a chance.

Being in a dome helps.

Well, yeah. I mean that's the whole reason. Still, it's awesome.

Wow...the Jays have barely hit a ball out of the infield this inning.
