100% was the right call. He lifted his fucking legs like an idiot and the guy tripped over him. Every single umpire makes that call.

 

[dougplayer]

wow he tripped him but he was on the other side of the base

 

[briz almighty]

lool @ obstruction what a joke. these umps are terrible. anyone with half a brain knows that was not obstruction.

 

[podsox]

craig took a step in the direction of the 2nd base. doesnt he have to retouch 3rd?

 

[BF4L]

Anyways I aint gonna argue that call. I said what I think. good night all.

 

[Clayton]

Why didnt they just walk Jay and get Kozma?

 

[Cobiemonster]

That was such a BS call what a joke

 

[dougplayer]

you have a rams length on the base paths. but he was on the other side of the base.

Middlebrooks did lift his legs.

 

[trojanfight]

ill admit I don't know much about rules of baseball...but seems to me he wasn't following the same path to home plate most players do. a flop in baseball maybe?

After tonight I'll take it.

 

[Ronnie]

Correct call....intent does not matter.

 

[dougplayer]

Middlebrooks should have made the catch down at 3rd. how did he let that ball get by him??
that cost the game

 

[briz almighty]

the guy was flat on his stomach trying to make the play to get him out. what should he have done? dug a 6 foot hole after the ball gets by him so the running can run free? the sox nailed two guys OUT. they were robbed. that was epic bullshit.

 

[Ronnie]

Jim Joyce will get hammered....but his call was correct.

 

[BF4L]

Jim Joyce...was that not the ump who screwed over some guy of a perfect game a few years back?

 

[Ronnie]

Sox fans can cry all they want....but call is correct.

 

[dougplayer]

yup the same joyce....

great play by Dustin at 2nd

throw by slaty was off line... mbrooks should have come off the bag to catch it

 

[RoboticDreams]

Correct call....intent does not matter.

So a guy diving for an errant throw, falls to the ground and because he is in the way of the base runner, it's obstruction? I am not so sure about that. He did lift his legs and that is why it was called.

Jim Joyce...was that not the ump who screwed over some guy of a perfect game a few years back?

Almost positive that was Angel Hernandez, but I'm not 100% sure.

Regardless, that was the craziest ending to a WS game I've ever seen.

 

[Ronnie]

Tough way to lose a game....I'm not sure the Red Sox fans will suck it up and move on. Their team better.
