Some are trying to add words into the definition of the obstruction........that all I saw.


I'd bet dollars to donuts that if obstruction wasn't called the Cardinals wouldn't have gone out, and argued the non-call. They were so surprised at the call of obstruction being made in the first place. They acted like Xmas came early..............and what difference does it make what level of ball I work. What level of ball do you work?

Steven:

With all due respect, I do not know what video you have been watching but every video that I have seen of this play shows no contact between Craig and Middlebrooks until Middlebrooks obstructed Craig on his way from 3B to HP.
