lordsketor Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 An "Obstruction of Justice" by Midddlebrooks cost the BoSox this time. Many thanks to Discrimihater for making the sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Such a stupid ending to Game 3. If there was runner interference, why in blue hell didn't the 3rd base umpire called it? Why did it had to be the home plate guy calling it? Nice way of provoking injuries for nothing.3rd base umpire did call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the replay you could see him pointing at the Twister game on third and the home plate ump took it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Middlebrooks seemingly did like 20 push-ups (ok maybe 1 or 2) before Craig even tripped over him. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 What an awesome series. Unfortunate end for Boston, but that's how it goes some times.

dbadefense1990 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 3rd base umpire did call it. The third base ump did call it. On the replay you could see him pointing at the Twister game on third and the home plate ump took it from there.Well in the heat of the moment, the whole bang-bang play at home shouldn't have happened. If there was interference at 3rd, you'd figure the call be there and the players act accordingly. But for the game to end at home plate on such a close play, then ultimately be determined at 3rd base provokes probable injuries at home plate for a judgment call made 90° back.

McCall Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Players probably weren't watching because they were trying to throw out Craig. Plus it was pretty loud. As in game 1, they got the call right. That's what matters, right? https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 The Red Sox have lost two World Series games this year because of throwing errors to 3rd base.That's the item to chew on here. The ruling was 100% correct. Middlebrooks didn't intend, I believe, but just like a baserunner may not intend to get drilled on the ankle by that sharp as nails groundball/low line drive, they are still out. In this case, that's obstruction, and Craig is entitled to the next base. Just turns out that base was home plate in the 9th inning of a tie game in the World Series. Still the right ruling; glad they got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the interference, he was out, so defer to the original decision.There are other cases just like that in baseball, but I'm suddenly completely forgetting what they are.

TheGiantsFan Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Terrible ending to that game. While I'm not rooting for either team, this game should've gone extra innings. I don't know how blind you have to be to call that safe. That is all.This play should be this postseason's Atlanta infield fly rule...

Kramerica Industries Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Upon reviewing the play, you'll notice Joyce makes no signal for obstruction until Middlebrooks shot his legs up. This is very clear. Middlebrooks on the ground was not the mistake - it was Middlebrooks lifting his legs up, causing Craig to trip, that brought about the call.Right call.

FiddySicks Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'll just say this. Despite the fiasco a few years ago, if there's one ump who's judgement I trust over anyone else's, it's Jim Joyce.
