Yep, just saw it on Sportscenter 2 minutes ago. Yes, from that angle, I certainly don't have obstruction...I had to watch it w/o the volume because the Sportscenter people seemed to have reversed the terminology...the Mets coach also "beaked' the umpire too...the ump kept the bill of his hat below his.
Yep, looking at that call, I think I have an out for INT rather than awarding 2B for OBS...tough to say I guess

I don't think you can have INT on this, Reyes wasn't trying to make a play on Victorino, he was trying to get out of the way after throwing the ball.

Players are coached to do this during a rundown: bump into the fielder after he's thrown the ball in order to draw the obstruction call. It worked in this case.
Bit of an acting job by Victorino if you ask me, but clearly there was contact. From an umpiring standpoint, I always want to end a rundown as quickly as possible. Rundowns are bad baseball and add nothing to the game. If the runner takes 2 steps sideways, he's out of the baseline and out. If there's contact with the fielder, obstruction (unfortunately, in FED we play on from that point since all OBS is "Type B"). If the runner does anything with his hands to touch or otherwise impede the fielder, INT. Move on.

Could you explain your thoughts on Rundowns, being bad baseball and add nothing to the game. I never looked at it that way. I just see it as another "Situation" in baseball. Sometimes it can force certain actions where a team can take advantage of advancing bases or scoring runs. Am I misisng something.

Yep, Type A in my book! Not a pretty call, but by the book.
