Are the red sox players retarded or just delusional?

Salty in particular. Just saw his interview. Not sure how anyone can watch that replay and not say it was obstruction.

yeah...that was the first thing I saw during the live play. the runner going home and the 3rd baseman raising his legs up. so obvious.

It was obstruction both by order of the rule as well as perceived intent (by Middlebrooks). Middlebrooks made a clear attempt to left his feet up after he first had them down on the ground. When I saw it live, I said "game over" before Craig ever got back to his feet.

Just a bad play by Middlebrooks not realizing that Craig is already slow... now injured... and they had a decent shot at him without the obstruction.

It would have been a really tough call for the umps if Middlebrooks wouldn't have lifted his feet up and Craig still stumbled with Middlebrooks laying in the basepath.

I haven't seen the Red Sox players interviews, but if they are debating this call they are a bunch of douchebags. Every single one of them have played enough ball to know that Middlebrooks definitely tried to get as big as possible and slow down Craig. It happens all the time at first base.

they are players after an emotional loss. Its normal for a human being to try and put the blame on someone else instead of you and your teamates being the cause.

I dislike both teams but you're right. There's really no way that wasn't obstruction. People who are pissed off are making a fool out of themselves.

And remember, they are playing for their fricking city. There is a lot more riding on this series for the sox, not just a ring you fricktard. Get some perspective.

You really expect Boston players to come out and completely agree with the call in post game interviews? These are just heat of the moment comments. Any team would react the same way after losing a World Series game like that.

IMO Middlebrooks didn't really do much to try and interfere except be in the baseline.
Craig certainly seemed to step on him on purpose to get the call. All in all it was a heads up play by Craig, because it was definitely interference regardless of if he tried to interfere or not

Red Sox fan friend of mine is ranting non-stop. He wants the umpire investigated for fraud / mafia payments.

Evidently he is unable to see the obvious.
