  • World Series Game 3

    Was that the right call? I'm not well versed on the obstruction rule. I wouldn't have the balls to call that one.

    Correct call, just very bad timing because of it's importance in the time of the game.
    Imagine if that was Bottom 9, Game 7.
    But it was the correct call.

      Now was it because he was laying down in the way, or because he raised his feet?

      He didn't trip over the players feet, but his thigh area. So if he didn't raise his feet, but still tripped, is it still obstruction?

        This is still an obstruction it has nothing to do with raising ones legs, intentional or unintentional this was clearly an obstruction and illegal.

        This was the correct call.

          "Rule 7.06(a) Comment: When a play is being made on an obstructed runner, the umpire shall signal obstruction in the same manner that he calls 'Time,' with both hands overhead. The ball is immediately dead when this signal is given; however, should a thrown ball be in flight before the obstruction is called by the umpire, the runners are to be awarded such bases on wild throws as they would have been awarded had not obstruction occurred. On a play where a runner was trapped between second and third and obstructed by the third baseman going into third base while the throw is in flight from the shortstop, if such throw goes into the dugout the obstructed runner is to be awarded home base. Any other runners on base in this situation would also be awarded two bases from the base they last legally touched before obstruction was called.
