I had a bad position on that play, I was over in the corner of the stands on the first base side. From where I sat, it looked the catcher had position and blocked the plate, while holding onto the ball.

And yeah, I was also shocked at the pounding he took in the first inning, but he settled down and managed to pitch several good innings after that.

My problem with the out at the plate was that the ump had not been cleaning the plate so that as far as I can tell the catcher was on the plate not in front of it. I don't have a clear recollection of the catcher touching the runner with the glove but I do have one of him thanking his lucky star he had a cup on as the runner's foot hit the plate and his groin at the same time. I thought he was safe. <p>But there were plenty of close calls at first, too, as well as the picks at second. I thought the umps got them all right so it's not like this is an issue.
