So...where does MLB suggest the catcher position himself on that play?

Have to give a lane to the runner. Not hard to understand

Three run lead, with 4 outs to go, and another manager will overuse his closer.
They should have stuck with others, but these guys play to not get criticized instead of doing the smart thing.

To prevent massive collisons at home plate because the catchers covered up the plate, Where you been?

Apart from the last game with the Nats and (even there we scored some weird runs) the bats are doing worse than the arms

I still don't understand why Almora was taken out of the game. Joe is being so hard headed with letting this kid play.

No runner reached base after the almora hr
The team was dead despite a 2-0 lead and some possible juice.
We threw
A guy who's wife was in the hospital and arrived from all 16 hours earlier
A guy who wasn't in the roster in nlds
A guy who didn't pitch in the nlds
No clue who we would have used in 7-8-9 if we had a close lead late as we were toast in the pen and not good anyway.
Was hoping for lackey to start and q in game 2 to get everyone fresh as now only one who's a ? Tomm is our starting pitcher.
Series was always going to start game 2.....theyre still missing seager but our pen still sucks.....need to hit to win

Agree. Almora has been our best player lately. He should be a regular. Let him hit against right handers as well.

Don’t think I’m going to be able to watch any of this series after watching virtually every game this season. I’m in Sweden for business and the games start at like 2am.
Watching Puig in the highlights was pretty annoying. Go Cubs.

Hitting 17 is always the wrong play no matter what the results.

It was just the leg. I agreed with Girardi on the final play from Correa yesterday. Pop up slide into Didi which did not allow the throw to the plate. Where is that rule enforced other than double plays?

It was enforced last night. As a long time catcher that understands controlling plate access, it was the correct call

You did not answer the question.
I understand what the rule says. I am asking them to extrapolate that and tell me where should the catcher stand on that particular play.They are telling him where he can not stand, but from a simple, practical standpoint, where should a catcher position himself waiting on that throw? Toward LF? That leaves him in the way. Toward RF? Then he has to lunge to make a tag.
Bottom line is, while the intent may make sense, the rule itself is impractical. Much like college football's targeting rule.
