Rangers' Bruce Bochy 'dumbfounded' by controversial replay that lost game against White Sox
in the American League West on Tuesday night, but the Rangers, who are five games ahead of the Angels and 5.5 in front of the Astros in the division, aren't happy about a call that went against them in their 7-6 loss to the White Sox in Chicago.
The Rangers coughed up a 6-4 lead in the eighth, but looked like they were out of the inning with the game tied when left fielder Travis Jankowski's throw to catcher Jonah Heim beat Elvis Andrus at the plate for the final out. The White Sox challenged home-plate umpire D.J. Reyburn's out call at home, and the ruling was overturned when replayed officials determined that Heim illegally blocked the plate.
Rules state that catchers can't set up in front of home plate and must give runners a clear lane to home. It looked like Heim did that by stepping behind the plate to snag the throw and leaving the front of the plate open for Andrus., who was ejected for arguing the call. “It’s absolutely one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen and it was done by replay. I just don't get it. I don't care how many times they'll try to explain it. You can't do that in that situation.
“There was never any contact with the catcher. It was a sweep tag. I don't get it. I really don't. Again, I'm shocked. Jonah did a great job there. The throw took him to the left a little bit, sweep tag. I'm lost on this one. That's a tough one to take.”"I set up like we're taught to set up, on the corner of the plate,"
."The ball took me up the line. I even backed up a little bit. He had the whole front of the plate to slide into, so I'm not sure what else I'm really supposed to do there."
