Middlebrooks isnt obstructing, as he isnt in the baseline between 3rd and 4th. Looking at the tape, hes actually on the ground 3-5 feet inside the baseline, between 2nd and 3rd. Craig is NOT in the baseline. Base PATH was obstructed. The runner HAD to step OFF the base path from third to home, in order to get around the Boston Bitch princess with his feet up. It matters not where the foul line was in relation to the runner. |

Watch the replay, he lays out kicks his feet up, see's that Craig is getting up from his slide and then kicks his feet up again and lifts up. Plain and simple you miss the ball, lay like like a bitch until he's done with you. |

Third basmen isnt blocking the bag, he's off to the side. Gets taken out anyway, you know like a second basemen getting obstructed during a double play. It's interference, if hes NOT blocking the bag, he wasnt. So apparently the runner can take out the third basemen at the ankle while hes off to the side of the bag, trip over the guy he just knocked down and win game three of a world series game. Had he stood up, he would have been called for obstruction. Chickenshit call in the World Series. This times infinity. |

But that doesnt mean the rule book goes out the window in the bottom of the ninth. Fielding the ball is when its hit off the bat. Catcher throws a bad ball third baseman tries to tag while hogging the bag, runner slides into bag fielder gets caught up with the runner, happens all the time the difference is Middlebrook interfered with him running home you cant deny that. And just because hes on the inside of the foul line doesn't mean hes out of the base line. |

If you really want, you can go watch the press conference where the umps discuss this.
ETA: The umps specifically address Craig being inside the chalk line. They say that "and don't forget, the runner establishes his own base line" Seriously, go listen to the press conference. They address all the butthurt from the Boston fans. Yeah, it's a tough break. But you don't change the rules just because it was a weird play. |

The funny thing to me, is the amount of hate and vitriol towards the Sox, and MA in general. You folks need to relax. Christ, go get laid. Put down the Jergens, get out of mom's basement, and try to smooth talk someone other than your sisters.

It's hard to believe that anyone is arguing the call.
Whether the third baseman raised his legs on purpose isn't even relevant to the discussion, and I'm not convinced it was intentional. I don't care which team wins. If I watch a game, I want to see a great game. |

I'm a Boston fan.
The call was correct. It was obstruction. Those claiming that it was intentional are as delusional as those claiming that it was not obstruction as defined in the rules or those claiming that Craig wasn't even tagged out at the plate. Bottom line: If Saltalamacchia makes an even mildly decent throw to third (or doesn't even try to make that throw to third) the game continues. He didn't. |

There's a provision in the rule book that specifically deals with this play: Rule No. 2: Obstruction: "For example: an infielder dives at a ground ball and the ball passes him and he continues to lie on the ground and delays the progress of the runner, he very likely has obstructed the runner." |

If Middlebrooks had come off the base to field the errant throw better it would also be a non issue. As it was, he completely misses the throw and falls into the runners path creating a very easy obstruction call for the umpires.
I hate to see any game ended by an umpires judgment call but this one was pretty clear. |

P You can't apply a tag unless you've first caught the ball, Middlebrooks is in the act of trying to catch the throw from Saltlamacchia, when he is slid into (off to the runners left of the bag). Middlebrooks is knocked to the ground 3-5 feet INSIDE of the baseline between 2nd and 3rd. It's a chickenshit judgement call, which is a terrible way to end a great game, regardless of whom you're rooting for, and a complete disservice to the World Series. Its a shit call, the Umps should have let the men play ball, rather than deciding the game on an obscure judgement call. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Middlebrooks isnt obstructing, as he isnt in the baseline between 3rd and 4th. Looking at the tape, hes actually on the ground 3-5 feet inside the baseline, between 2nd and 3rd. Craig is NOT in the baseline. What happened to your interference argument? Technically, it is interference if a baserunner knocks down a third basemen fielding a ball. It shouldn't have been called, because that would have been a chickenshit call and a chickenshit way for the Sox to have won. The fact remains, Middlebrooks is between 2nd and 3rd, and not in the baseline between 3rd and home. Obstruction was also a chickenshit judgement call, that when it results in a loss at the end of a great game, regardless of who you or I think should have won, its a bad chickenshit judgement call. No he wasn't fielding a ball, he was applying a tag. Ground ball hit towards you and runner hits you trying to field, runner interference. Sliding into a base, breaking up a double play, ramming the catcher at home totally legal, as the runner has every right to the bag that the fielder does. Just like if he was standing on the bag watching a fly ball and the runner runs him over, again legal.

If Bahstan lost it was because they did not hit, you cannot blame the umpires if you only scored 1 run What fucking game were you watching? The final score was 5-4 and Boston scored 2 of those runs off Rosenthal, who was supposed to be unhittable. |
