Umpire ruling kills squeeze play in Detroit game
Umpire Silk O Loughlin ruled that a runner may not steal while the pitcher is on the rubber unless the pitcher winds up. This decision effectively eliminates the squeeze play as Dougherty tried to steal home while Siever prepared to deliver. Jones argued the catcher cannot block the batter, but the umpire said fair or unfair deliveries determine strikes. The ruling hinges on whether Siever began to wind up before Pat started the steal, otherwise the plate toss stands.
