The TV showed the play from behind, so I can't say for sure if the entire plate was blocked or not. But it appeared that Noda had at least 90% of it blocked. If there was an uncovered portion, it was the back corner closest to the umpire.
From what I could see, Noda made one of the best blocks of the plate I'd seen in a long time. His left leg was down over the plate with shin guard turned to protect himself.
As for impartiality, I'm a BayStar fan, but was rooting for Daiei this series.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
