I saw the play, being an avid Padres fan, and IMO Joe West kicked it. Giles' slide was perfectly legal, as he could easily have reached the plate with his hand. He did a great takeout slide, disrupted the catcher and caused a wild throw. That is the runner's job on that play, and West called interference. It certainly isn't the first time. Cowboy Joe has made highly dubious and controversial calls before. This was one of them.
