In the eighth inning tonight in Chicago, Kansas City catcher Jason LaRue appeared to catch a foul popup behind home plate off the bat of A.J. Pierzynski.

However, the umpires ruled that LaRue pushed the screen behind home plate with his hand to keep the ball from hitting it.

I suppose that's illegal, but I can't figure out why.

Pierzynski struck out on the next pitch.

I guess the Umps view the screens like they View the foul lines? that's my guess.
