OMG a game ends on interference

[smitch124]

Wow that's such a tough call. CRAZY STUFF!!!!

[easyliving]

WHAT A penetrating FINISH its clear interference though

[d2bets]

I'd have to see the exact rule but it sure looked unintentional, natural and the runner was nowehere near the base and not on or near the baseline. I don't think that was the right call.

[smitch124]

Ya for sure. The Sox might wanna quit overthrowing 3rd...

[KingJD31]

Middlebrookscouldn't catch that? What a fukin dipshit

[Cuse0323]

Fitting end to a terribly umped game. No consistency behind the plate and now that garbage. What is Middlebrooks suppose to do there

[Vinnie Paz]

MLB is a joke

[VegasInsider]

I don't think it matters if its unintentional.

Its the right call Middlebrooks lifts his legs up. Slight movement of the leg upwards more than enough to affect the runner.

[Soxsfan9]

Sooooo question??

If he turns and goes back to 3rd does he get awarded home plate?

Fuckin Jim Joyce always fuking up calls

[boeing power]

Great call.

[ChalkyDog]

Pretty shocking.

Switched over to see that.

[Cuse0323]

Its the right call Middlebrooks lifts his legs up.

It's a shit rule, is he suppose to make himself disappear?

[BestPlay2day]

Bullshit call, Red Sox got screwed.

[sportsfanatic]

umpires ruined a great game. don't mind sox losing but c'mon not like that...

[face]

have never seen an ending like that
middlebrooks didn't do anything
the ump was pretty bad w/ strike calls

[smitch124]

Sooooo question??

If he turns and goes back to 3rd does he get awarded home plate?

Fuckin Jim Joyce always fuking up calls

Sox fan its a tough way to lose a game, but man quit overthrowing 3rd already.

[Deuce]

Right call. Hate to see ending this way. Don't be a prick and overthrow bag you jerry curled fukk.

[opie1988]

um, boston not so mentally strong.

Well done.

[d2bets]

Does it matter that the runner was like 3 feet to the left of the base and just tried to go right through him instead of around him on the baseline?

[ttwarrior1]

If there was no #obstruction call, nobody would of said a word that there needed to be an obsruction call, #MLBPostseason

[TwoWays]

Redsox fans, talk to your catcher already. Jeezus. The asian sensation woulda gotten you outta that mess if you left the cards guy at third.

[Soxsfan9]

I agree 100%

But honest question, if he justs stumbles around and goes back to 3rd does Joyce make the call!?

[sportsfanatic]

uehara would have gotten the third out for sure

[pavyracer]

It was more of a defensive hold that an obstruction.

[VegasInsider]

MLB has it out for the Sox

[ChalkyDog]

That was awful. Just saw a bunch of replays, unreal.

I was on the cards, playing boston next.

That is a shit way to lose. Is it because he slightly lifted his leg?

[Kaabee]

Rule 7.06(a) [Type A Obstruction]
Criteria: Play must be attempted on obstructed runner at the moment obstruction is called.
Criteria 2: All instances of batter-runner obstruction before he reaches first base, regardless of whether or not there is a play being made on him at the instance of obstruction.
Execution: Ball is immediately dead and penalties imposed.
Penalty, All Runners: Umpire's discretion, to bases "they would have reached...if there had been no obstruction."
Penalty, Obstructed Runner: Mandatory minimum of a one-base award (awarded from last base legally touched at the time of obstruction). May be awarded additional bases.

Rule 7.06(b) [Type B Obstruction]
Criteria: No play is being attempted on the obstructed runner at the moment of obstruction.
Execution: Ball is live, play proceeds until no further action is possible. Penalties imposed after play.
Penalty, All Runners: Umpire's discretion, imposition of penalties to "nullify the act of obstruction."
Risk: Because the ball is live throughout Type B Obstruction, an obstructed runner may be declared out if he runs past the base he would have been awarded under Type B's penalty.

Well yeah..all sports like football, hockey, basketball, soccer have tripping penalties. Nothing new here.

[SplitAces]

I agree 100%

no he would have too attempt to get to next base for it to be called.

[onacloud]

final play

[crustyme]

he tripped him. obvious call.
