"I must not have the rule right, because we just don't get it called. I mean, the guy clearly had his leg in front of the bag before he had the ball..."
Matt Quatraro, manager of the Kansas City Royals, was ejected during the fifth inning of a game against the Chicago White Sox for arguing with umpire Tom Hanahan. The argument stemmed from a play where outfielder Kyle Isbel was called out while attempting a stolen base. Quatraro contended that White Sox shortstop Colston Montgomery obstructed Isbel's path to second base. However, MLB rules regarding obstruction are non-reviewable, leading to Quatraro's frustration over the lack of clarity in the call and the fast-paced nature of umpiring in major league games.
