In a thrilling opener at Citi Field, the Los Angeles Dodgers emerged victorious over the New York Mets in extra innings amid a rain delay and two peculiar umpiring decisions. A significant and rare obstruction call occurred when Starling Marte was ruled safe at home plate after Max Muncy was accused of obstructing Marte's line of sight, despite not physically impeding him. This decision surprised Muncy, who remarked on the unusual nature of such a call in MLB. The game also saw another confusing call that unintentionally benefitted the Dodgers.
I know the rule... every third baseman is taught... you kind of just wander over... you don't look at him. You just kind of walk over and you just stand there.
He felt that I was purposely doing it, and he felt that I made a conscious effort to stand in the way. Every third baseman in the league does that.
