He didn't circle around, He made a guess as to where Neto would be, waited as long as he could, then stepped onto the bag. Neto bumped him almost at the same time. It sucks, but the call is probably right. I'll wait to see what the league says after the game to be sure. He didn't go straight to the side of the bag, he went to the back of second base. What would be gained by Soto doing so intentionally? Even if dropped, the infield fly rule was called, so catching the ball is essentially meaningless. The rule is wrong anyway. If you drop the ball everyone should advance one base safely… |

Swings over another change low, 1-1
FB on the inside corner jams him, he pops it to short left, Ward comes in, easy play, 2 down.

If you drop the ball everyone should advance one base safely… Stanton was already out and Neto knew that, so he kept "misjudging" the ball until he eventually made contact with Soto. |

He had a lead. It appeared the ball would be caught standing on 2B. He had no choice but to get back.., I agree he has to take a lead. And that he waited to avoid interfering. But his late lunge into the bag arguably created the contact, and could be judged as interference. I don't like it, but if he steps low and bends down, how can he know to do that?, then maybe they don't call it. I'll wait to see what the league ays about the call. I suspect they'll uphold it. They’ll uphold it, but what else can they do. And by the way, lunge is not descriptive of what he did. More like crept, snuck, sneaked, side stepped… yeah, side-stepped, that’s the one… |

I think the misjudge was legit, which is why I don’t like the automatic out. You drop it, every one advances free… |

If Soto waited to avoid interfering, then it was not intentional. And, what is being interfered with, as when the infield fly rule is called, the ball is no longer live and need not be caught. |
