He was safe tho, there’s been tons of analysis on that call and there’s no definite proof that he was tagged. The catcher missed the tag, and if he didn’t and did tag him, there’s not enough to overturn it on the field because of how insanely close it is.

@@robertfalk3767 It was the right call. Ump had the best view there and as he said in a quote, the catch missed. Certain camera angles make it look like such also. It's overall a very close play and had there been a replay, it's very likely to have been too close to call.

[@edward-mh4ub]

Runner still didn’t touch home LOL but does the interference automatically make him safe?

[@SearingNinja]

I thought that was going to be the cardinals losing because of him getting called out at home, even said "kind of shitty that he got tripped like that at 3rd"

[@almostfm]

@kevin ortega Well, not quite. In MLB, there are two types of obstruction (other than the oddly named "catcher's interference, the offense commits interference, but the defense commits obstruction). This was a "Type 2" (back then it was "Type B") obstruction because a play wasn't being made on the runner when the obstruction occurred. On a Type 2, it's a "delayed dead ball", which means play continues until it reaches its natural end, and then the umpires award the runner the base he'd have gotten to had the obstruction not occurred. Let me just add that by busting his ass for home, Craig made that an easy call, because minus the obstruction, he obviously would have scored on the play. Had he just jogged home (assuming he'd be awarded home), they could have called him out.

[@alexburky9124]

it’s a great call. as he went to run middlebrooks kicks his legs up and trips him up. clear interference and it takes balls of steel to call it in that spot even if it’s right

[@almostfm]

@@alexburky9124 Actually, it's obstruction, and Middlebrooks kicking his legs up actually had nothing to do with it. The fact that his body was in Craig's way was enough.

[@bassprolando3611]

4:00 honestly the ump made the correct call there, the interference at 3rd made the runner delayed by at least a couple seconds, he would’ve been safe for sure withou the interference.

[@SarahDigsHockey]

My question on that play is this: If the plate umpire was going to call interference, why did he stand there and watch the player slide into home as if the play at home was going to decide the outcome? The guy was going to be safe anyway (because of the interference) so he could have just stopped the play.

[@almostfm]

@@SarahDigsHockey Just to nitpick, when the defense impedes the runner, it's "obstruction". This was a classic "Type 2" (formerly "Type B") obstruction because the obstruction happened when a play wasn't being made on the runner. In MLB, a Type 2 is a "delayed dead ball", meaning that play continues until it reaches its natural end. Once the play is over, the umpires award the runner with the base they think he would have gotten to had the obstruction not occurred. So he was watching the play because it wasn't over yet, and he then had to determine if, minus the obstruction, Craig would have scored on the play

[@Viva146]

It's super clear and blatant too, 3rd baseman lifts both his feet while laying on his stomach in an unnatural movement that could only happen because he was trying to trip the baserunner.

[@almostfm]

@@Viva146 Not that it matters whether it was deliberate or not. The fact that his body was in the way was what caused the obstruction

[@steveswangler6373]

@Bass Pro Lando was not interference. the third baseman dove to catch the ball, the runner was sliding into third when he dove, the third baseman was laying there. was not interference. if it had been interference, why did the umpire wait until after the play at the plate to call the interference? he would have called it immediately if he really thought it was interference. even the runner knew it wasn't interference.

Balk Rules You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that. 1a. A balk is when you 1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that. 1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about. 1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X. 1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse. 1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic... 1c-b(3). Okay seriously though.

You're probably not a Bucs fan, so you didn't experience the frustration of waiting 20 years for post-season ball, only for 2 of those years to get hosed because of a 1 game play-off where the opposing team trotted out their ace and shut it down.

@@popcornpanda2101 I'm wondering... do you think the catcher throws the ball to first if Bregman was called out? Sure the game would have continued until the third out was recorded but no throw means no throw away 🤷‍♂️

@Klayetix Oh that's very clear, but because the 3rd baseman blocked (though completely unintentional) the line, it has to be called as such

@@TheOrangeRoad yeah, the runner tripped over the 3rd baseman, it was clear interference

[@MrJimi16]

Nah, when he popped up from his slide, his foot was on the plate, he just didn't register it. And there is plenty of room for that swipe to have missed. Can't tell with the dogshit angles and resolution. People always talk about this one like it is the worst call ever, but they only say that because the throw beat him by so much. But the tag has to happen. This was before replay, but even if it wasn't, I doubt this gets overturned.

[@richatlarge462]

Umps at 3:48 made a gutsy and correct call, and in the World Series.

[@steveswangler6373]

@Rich at Large wrong. the defensive player dove for hte ball as the cardinal was sliding into third base. the Red Sox third baseman was laying on the ground. if it were interference, why didn't the umpire call it immediately? he waited until after the play was over. if it were interference, the play at the plate was irrelevant. if the umpire really thought it was interference, he would have called it right away and the play at the plate never would have happened.

[@kidzbop38isstraightfire92]

4:02 excellent call by the ump. That was definitely interference, and ump was paying attention.

[@JediMastr80]

Extremely heads up call by the Umpires. They saw and called the player interference immediately. The home plate umpire also did see it, delaying his call to double-check there was indeed interference. Funny thing, while the Cardinals did win this game, going up in the series 2 to 1, the Red Sox swept the rest of them. Red Sox won Game 4 with a 4 to 2 score, Game 5 won 3 to 1, and Game 6, Red Sox won 6 to 1 (in Boston).

[@KudaFamily]

For sure, I’m a Cards fan and have watched that several times. You can see he lifts both feet for no reason at 3:54 and it trips him up.

[@donhill1825]

Completely biased RedSox fan: that rule doesn't exist to award guys who can barely walk, making terrible base-running decisions, the walk-off run in a World Series game.

[@kidzbop38isstraightfire92]

@@donhill1825 it takes a strong man to admit his bias...but I would say that it does exist to award guys who would have scored without interference, as is the case in that clip. You can see that the runner would have clearly scored had he not been tripped. You just cant trip people on the basepath in baseball.

1:48 - I watched that game live as a kid. I didn't have school the next day so I stayed up late and stuck with it. I 100% believe the Ump was tired, hungry, and just wanted to go home. He saw his chance and took it.

[@StiggyAzalea]

I’ve seen 1:53 enough times, from all angles, to know that there’s a very good case for him being safe. The catcher only got close once, when he was swiping past his leg, and from every angle it looks incredibly close, but I don’t think the catcher touched him, and if he did, it’s still a reasonable safe call.

[@steveswangler6373]

@Stiggy if he was tagged out, how can it possibly be reasonable to call him safe? think before you type please.
