Orioles-Blue Jays controversial non-call: MLB rules support safe ruling on Clement's tag avoidance

I think he did a good job of avoiding the tag. He stayed in the baseline. He didn't go out of the baseline. He didn't intentionally interfere. He just avoided the tag.

I thought he was out. I thought he left the baseline. But the umpires said he didn't. So I guess he didn't.

It's a tough play. The runner is trying to avoid the tag, and the fielder is trying to make the play. The umpire has to make a split-second decision.
