MLB: ***Official World Series Thread***

[GWad]

I love this team. I wouldn't change a thing. What a great steal that was.

 

[CycloneErik]

Holy cow, I have never seen that sequence in a game before.

 

[ISUAlum05]

Whoa.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Wow.. If ISU had a baseball team, that's how it would lose.

 

[theantiAIRBHG]

You don't call that. You don't call that in a game in May. You don't call it in the World Series. That's terrible.

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

That was crazy! I think the umps got the call right though. But holy hell, the play Pedroia made at the beginning of that sequence was crazy good!!!

 

[CyArob]

As someone who is unbiased, that didn't look like an obstruction.

 

[ISUAlum05]

If it's a rule, why shouldn't it be called?

 

[GWad]

I love this game !!!!

 

[CycloneErik]

I would say, "You don't do that in May; you don't so that in the World Series. Don't trip people and you're good to go."

Easy call,.............. the 3rd baseman's raised legs caused the runner to fall down. That's obstruction.

 

[cmjh10]

What an ending. Made the correct call. Craig would have scored if not obstructed.

 

[theantiAIRBHG]

Jim Joyce being Jim Joyce. Brutal.

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

As someone who is unbiased, that didn't look like an obstruction.

It doesn't have to be intentional to be obstruction. Middlebrooks pretty obviously wasn't intentionally trying to impede the runner. But that seems like a pretty clear obstruction call to me. It sucks that the game ended that way, but I think the umps got it right.

 

[JP4CY]

Even as a Cubs fan, that cool looked right. Why would you raise your legs like that at all?

 

[theantiAIRBHG]

Obstructed? Lol.

 

[CyCrazy]

You don't call that. You don't call that in a game in May. You don't call it in the World Series. That's terrible.

It was interference no matter how inadvertent it might have been.

 

[GWad]

intent does not matter and he was in the baseline,....end of story

 

[Clones21]

Horrible call. This probably won't end well for the Cardinals now. They just ****** off the Red Sox, who will probably win 3 straight games now.

 

[gocubs2118]

I think that was the right call, I'm really not sure what to think right now. Crazy game, crazy ending.
