Re: World Series Game 3 Thread (BOS v STL, tied 1-1)

Bad call. Middlebrooks made a play on the ball and fell. He even attempted to lift his feet off of the base path. Look at the route Craig took off of the bag. He actually looks more like he did that intentionally to draw the obstruction call. (He comes off the 2nd base side of 3rd base bag a good foot and a half)

I dont think it matters if it's intentional or not...

Very good call by the umpire. There does not have to be intent for obstruction.

Looked to me.like he was trying to lift his legs into Craig. Only one man knows and we know what he'll say lol

Good call. Middlebrooks lifting his legs tripped the baserunner. Boston might want to work on the throw to third.

So Craig coming off of the bag in a way to make it impossible for Middlebrooks to be out of the way makes it a good call? So that means anyone could catch someone on the ground near the base path, run out to them, trip and get the call?

BS. It should have been taken into account Craig's lack of an attempt to avoid it.

If you are middlebrooks, why do you lift both of your legs right there?

Middlebrooks LIFTED his back legs INTO Craig who would have scored easily if not for the obstruction, incidental or not. Right call was made.

I don't understand why you don't acknowledge middlebrooks raising both of his legs while Craig was trying to get past him?

Meh. It's a call that could have been chalked up to bad base running just as much as a bad throw to third. Like I said just above, had Middlebrooks left his legs down it would be "MIDDLEBROOKS LEFT his legs RIGHT ON THE BASE LINE". Except - in this case - had Craig not come off over a foot toward 2nd base , he would have missed Middlebrooks completely.

To clear the base line? Had he left them where they were, he would have been reamed for tripping him by NOT moving his legs.

Lol if he'd of just stayed flat there would have been no obstruction call
