    I don't think the call was bad - it's the rule that needs adjusted. The entire bag is inside the line and Josh had to be on the line to touch the bag. It's not like he was clearly inside the line obstructing the throw. I don't fault the umps because the rule as it stands is stupid.

    Come on, he was outside the running lane, he's out. This isn't football, it's baseball.

    They reviewed it and still got it wrong.

    I'm fine with the rule if you have a double bag. If you don't then you must have the rule be middle of bag to right. Left of middle out. As it stands now, its just absurd.

    Because his path to first base included his running in fair territory. He veered back in plenty of time to not interfere with the play . Really lazy decision!!

    Props to Kyle Petersen for questioning the Rivera call and how the rule should be applied.

    I don't watch enough baseball to understand why Rivera was called out. But I have a feeling I could watch 50 years of baseball and still not understand why Rivera was out.

    Josh never touched the ball nor fielder. What was the violation?

    Stupid call! Dumbass rule if there is one. So, the runner has to run in foul territory and not down the line laid out in chalk. Right.

    Sounds like there was an exception to the rule given where the ball was hit
