Obstruction was called on that play. The umpires conferred and ruled that Tejada did not have a legitimate shot to score on the play. I agree with them, too. The ball was being fielded in very short left field at the time of the obstruction, heck it was right behind shortstop. Tejada's third base coach was trying to hold him up, and Tejada tried to buy home because of the obstruction. It was not a legitimate attempt to advance, and so the runner is protected back to third base. He advances at his own risk.
