Despite what everyone says, instant replay would have concluded nothing. If one would apply the same standard as the NFL uses to overturn a call, the play would have stood, I've yet to see a replay that proves conclusively whether he did or not. Bud Black, Padre's manager, stated after the game that he though Holliday did tag the plate on the way by. The only "evidence" I've seen that he didn't is a bunch of sport's columnists stating their opinion instead of reporting the incident accurately. Just because Barrett blocked the plate doesn't mean he didn't touch it because he slid past Barrett not through him. Lot's of guys have scored by avoiding the block and slapping the plate as they go by.

No he did not.
Barrett blocked the plate with his left foot and Holiday never tagged home. And he face planted in the process. Over all a pretty funny play.

No, but the Rockies got screwed out of a homer in the 7th so it evens out
And even if it didn't, that woulda been the first out of the inning and the Rockies still would have won =)

i honestly couldn't say...at first i say no, but after a while i say yes, than i look again and no.. there is just no way to tell.. inconclusive i say... i wouldn't know...
but the fact his hand got stepped on, he may of, after all the catchers foot was over the plate and if his hand did indeed get stepped on he must of touched home plate..

Doesn't matter - it was obstruction on the part of the catcher.
Catcher missed the ball, at which point he's no longer in the act of fielding, and therefore committed obstruction when he moved his foot in front of Holliday's hand = free base.

The only one who knows is the guy who called it safe. According to him Holliday was safe. Go Rockies!!!

No, I think that situations like that is a prime example of why they need the instant re-play system. If it would have been reviewed there might have been a different outcome of the game.
