Boy, lots of fun with the THs on this one.

From sec 21 (center field), I was saying 'obstruction' from the initial contact.
We could not see the 'control' issues that seem to come into play into they showed the replay on the jumbo tron. The ball on that throw really seemed to 'slow' down the 2nd hop, to make the about to receive the ball 'call' even more difficult.
The 2 games I saw today, the blues did a fine job. But it was humorous when the ZONA fans began chanting 'let them play' after the 3rd or so IP. There was much irony in those moments.
It seems that the consensus at the ballpark, to the 'untrained fan eye' is that they want IPs called until it is against 'their' team. Then it is 'over officiating. That being said, the blues in OKC are simply during their job and doing it well.
