I don't really have a dog in this fight and Nunez reminded me of Pierzynski in his behavior there, just to pile on a bit.

Fuck the DH
If that was interference, then Mark Melancon with the on-field lawnchair blocking the A’s was some evil genius mastermind poo poo.

I really don’t understand what Boston has done for it too to deserve all these championships recently. It’s almost as bad as Alabama and college football.

It's in the rules, there is no interference in the event of unintentional catcher-batter contact and he made an effort to clear the path to the ball idk what you want from me

From the rulebook:

quote:

6.03 Batter Illegal Action
(a)
A batter is out for illegal action when:

(3) 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.

"any other movement" is really broad language, so it seems to me if the ump interpreted Nunez as leaning back into the catcher you could call him out if you wanted to. He clearly didn't interpret it that way but it doesn't seem to be as slam dunk of a case as you're making it out to be.

e: I am taking no real position either way here.

God I was furious at the time

Anyhow in a situation like that one of the best things you can do is not move much so that the catcher can react to you without having to also adjust to your movements; which the catcher did by just barreling through Nunez

He was in the box and the ball rolled between his legs and he made an effort to get out of the way. That will never be called interference
