Sanchez was up the line straddling the chalk. It was a call that could have gone either way since it can be argued that Sanchez moved up the line in order to make a legitimate attempt to receive a throw (which is permissible). Of course, the counter argument can be made that he was simply trying to block Sabol’s path to home plate.
Regardless, the call had a significant impact on the outcome of the game. Once in a while, a judgment call goes in your favor. Don’t ask questions, just run to the bank and make a deposit.
