ZZZZZZZ Premium Member join:2001-05-27 PARADISE	ZZZZZZZ Premium Member 2013-Oct-14 11:48 am [MLB] World Series games Surprised there is no thread already. That Boston game yesterday was nuts..........Detroit had a no hitter going for almost 6 innings then Big Pappy smokes a grand slam in the bottom of the 8th to tie the game at 5. Boston completes the comeback in the ninth and ties the series.

So glad they didn't have to fight off another no-hitter. That shot by Papi was beautiful. 1st pitch goes boom just over Hunter's grasp. Loved it. This play was really damn good too. »wapc.mlb.com/play/?topic ··· 31136839

Detroit didn't deserve to drag the series out any longer. Boston is the better team, atm.

Cards beat Boston on controversial call by ump. »msn.foxsports.com/mlb/st ··· x-102613 The rules were called right by ump. But it is a bad way to end a World Series game that was going to extra innings. A walk off obstruction call ends the game.

Especially since he lifted his legs twice. He knew what he was doing. I dont honestly believe anyone would think he doesnt score if the third baseman doesnt lift his legs.

ZZZZZZZ Premium Member join:2001-05-27 PARADISE	ZZZZZZZ Premium Member 2013-Oct-27 11:52 am That was a BS call and should never have been made! If they're going to start following the letter of the law in ball games ,then they better start making the 2nd baseman actually touch the bag on double plays. That was a brutal call by a brutal ump.

rolfp no-shill zone Premium Member join:2011-03-27 Oakland, CA	rolfp Premium Member 2013-Oct-27 12:28 pm I agree 2nd baseman touch the bag or no out. In this case, it doesn't matter whether it was intentional or not, it's obstruction. said by da link : Obstruction is also among the terms defined in Rule 2.0. Most germane to this play is part of a comment in this section: "After a fielder has made an attempt to field a ball and missed, he can no longer be in the act of fielding the ball. For example: If 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." Furthermore, if Craig doesn't fall down, there's no play at the plate. Not down with pickin' and choosin' which rules to follow.

And if it wasn't this time, people would be screaming it should have been. Jim Joyce is known as one of the best umps in the game. You calling him brutal tells me how to consider your opinion of the play. btw, two Boston sports writers have said the call was correct and should have been called. Here's one

It was the wrong call overall since the rule is flawed. We all know the intent of the rule but it failed in that instance.
