He clearly grabbed him.

He also turned his entire body away from the bag while he was doing it.


Jose Goofed.

Can we move on? There will be 59 more losses for us to be upset about.

You do realize grabbing a player's ankle fals under rule 7.09d, right?

Any batter or runner who has just been put out, or any runner who has just scored, hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate

The problem is, that rule is not reviewable. 6.14j (aka the Chase Utley rule) is the reviewable play here.

It's just one game. Just one game. Breathe in, breathe out.

I love how baseball doesn't even know their own rules. Deliberate interference is not reviewable per the rules. So why they would come back and say that's why it was overturned I have no clue, they're not allowed to overturn it for that reason.

Now Jose did break slide rule 3 by not staying on the base which is reviewable, so even without the explaination that they're not allowed to use in the first part there the call still gets overturned.

But it would be really nice if MLB knew their own rules sometimes.
