The umpires in Monday night's game between the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue put this to the test with a 15-minute review of a baserunning debacle by the Red Sox that ended with the visiting team being awarded a run in the end.
The play resulted in only one out; Sogard reached first, and the Red Sox had runners on the corners with one out as Ceddanne Rafaela came up to bat.
Blue Jays center fielder Brett Bateman easily caught the ball and threw to second as the Red Sox runner on third jogged across home plate.
After the Red Sox broadcast came back from the first commercial break, they showed the umpires conferring and then trying to explain their decision to Blue Jays manager John Schneider and Red Sox manager Chad Tracy.
Of course, the situation with the Red Sox is more complicated because the role of "Jones" in this situation did not actually tag up before he scored.
