I don't know if Middlebrooks did that on purpose, but there's been far worse attempts of obstruction that haven't been called.

It was two feet off the line is what gets me. It could have been easily avoided. But when you make a call like that, you do it in a moment.

why didn't they walk the bases loaded?

 

I wondered that as well. Who would you rather face...a decent hitter in Jay or a guy who hits like a pitcher in Kozma with a force at every base?

 

I think the answer is pretty damn simple there. Pedroia more or less bailed out Farrell, but Salty's throw screwed everything up.

 

FWIW, I thought it was obstruction the moment the play happened and I thought they'd actually call it at third base. The fact the home plate umpire had to call it later was so anti-climactic.

That is what I don't get. It was two feet inside the line. Isn't that the fielders territory if a runner is running home?? I feel like Craig ran into him. But that is just me and I live in St. Louis and don't like the Cardinals so I could have tunnel vision.

 

I still don't think you call that to end a damn World Series game

I think the 3b umpire did call it, he pointe at Craig immediately

I like how the closer will get the loss now.

 

 

wait, Workman gets credited for the loss?

 

Yes, he is the one that let the first runner on. Ferrell clearly lost this game for Boston. He didn't pinch hit for him in the 9th when he had Napoli on the bench and then kept him in for the 9th. And not walking Jay.

The third base umpire did call it but there was so much chaos that none of the players saw it or heard it.

I think Farrell didn't have a lot of relievers left in the bullpen, so he wanted to stick with Workman as long as possible.

He ended up taking him out a batter later. It was dumb. Dempster was still out there who can give you 5+ innings if possible.. That really shows how AL and NL are so different and it takes different managing
