Last night's (Sunday) Tigers-Orioles game.
I would like to ask one of our video gurus if he can find a video of the defensive play in the bottom of the third inning. My wife and sons are Tigers fan so I didn't have a dog in this fight (Go Royals!!).
The Tigers had a Runner on 2B with one out. B3 hit a one hop grounder to F6. R2 had taken a fairly large lead but stopped to let the batted ball go past to F6. For some reason R2 started to go back to 2B. F4 took a position directly between R2 and 2B. F6 threw to F4. R2 dove toward 2B and made contact with F4 as F4 was bobbling and failing to catch F6's throw. F4 laid on top of R2 while grabbing the ball and tagged R2 out. I thought obstruction should have been called.
