It’s been a great pitcher dual with incredible throw by Atwood for what should have been second out and no one on base.   Beyond frustrated with whoever made that idiotic call to overturn call in the field.  Even the announcers said it was bad call.   F’ing ridiculous.  

Punishing great baseball and rewarding bad baseball. The exact opposite of how it should be. To think they had the call right on the field and overturned it shows clear favoritism and bias. 

Moments like that where refs make obviously bad calls that change the score are bad for any sport.

Umps should be ashamed of themselves

The umps actually called the runner out. The replay officials should be ashamed. 

Replay has gone so far past its intended use in all aports. we’re legislating “intent” in these situations, just like targeting in football. It’s ruining the game and is no where close to the “spirit” in which is was installed for.

If we get anyone on 1st we better send them and the ump better call obstruction no matter what

It was the review guy not the umpire thatchanged the call.

9.5 Obstruction 9.5.1 Obstruction occurs when: 9.5.1.1 A defensive player, neither in possession of the ball nor in the act of fielding a batted ball, impedes a batter’s attempt to make contact with a pitch or impedes the progress of any runner who is legally running bases on a live ball. It can be intentional or unintentional. 9.5.1.2 A defensive player, while not in possession of the ball: a. Blocks any part of the leading edge of first, second or third base or home plate (as defined); or b. Otherwise blocks the runner from advancing or returning to a base. 9.5.2 The defensive player is not considered obstructing if they are in possession of the ball or they are, in the judgment of the umpire, making a legitimate reaction to the trajectory of the ball after it is thrown.

Notes: 1. Once in possession of the ball, the defensive player can be positioned between the runner and the base/plate. 2. Obstruction may be ruled even though there is no physical contact. 3. If in the umpire's judgment, the runner would have clearly been put out then the obstruction is ignored. 4. Obstruction can occur on a force or tag play.
