Forget it Rick, it’s minor league. (Chinatown ref there)
This is another reason I hate sports. It’s a fricking game.
When the runner is tagged and the tagger drops the ball in the process, the runner is safe. Agreed: a stupid call.

Wanna get tossed and get my shower in now. We have a long bus ride ahead of us.
Bad call. But the manager only succeeds in making himself seem foolish.
The “stripper theme” music coming from the PA system is pretty funny.
“”Frisco RoughRider”””
Sounds like the stage name for a gay porn actor.
The catcher never had control of the ball.
The runner stayed in the baseline
The runner touched the plate, and then went back and re-touched the plate.
The umpire should be fired.
The other umps should be fired.
The call was so bad that I can only surmise that the home plate ump was paid off. The conference with the other umpires was a decision on how to split the bribe, not tto discuss the merits of the call.
Bad for baseball.

“If a whole bat is thrown into fair territory and interferes with a defensive player attempting to make a play, interference shall be called, whether intentional or not.”
Of course they upheld the call, they ALWAYS uphold the call. Baseball really needs to get the manager temper tantrum out of the game. It’s boring, it’s stupid, and it’s never accomplished anything other than provide fodder for blooper collections.
He's a piker next to this guy.
Shades of the old Baltimore manager Earl Weaver.
