CHC@ATL Review OBS at Home

[Larry in TN]

Did anyone see the replay review of the out at Home in the CHC@ATL game on Thursday, April 4th?

I'm interested in the no-call on the catcher blocking home plate before the ball arrived.  Seemed like the only "lane" that was left was between the catcher's legs as we was straddling the baseline.  Is that enough to satisfy the rule?  Seems like it would lead to collisions that could be dangerous to the catcher.

I found this link to the video but can't get it to play at the moment.  Not sure why not.

I've always had trouble with the judgement on this rule.

I remember watching this live. 

I think they judged that while F2 was where he was, it didn't impact the runner.

I think this is the part of the rule that applies in this case:

That makes sense, I think.  I just don't have a good feel for how this rule is supposed to be implemented.

Thanks...
