Had he not raised his legs who knows if it would have been called.

That's probably true. I don't know his intent was to tangle up the runner, or to protect his own legs from being stepped on. You really wouldn't want your Achilles tendon laid out for stepping on by a runner. It's a legal call but seldom used.
Hopefully the Red Sox will focus on throwing to third base accurately. :laughing: Geez.

Yea, Salty should not have thrown to third and screwed up like he did in game 2. I love the Sox but Middlebrooks clearly raised his feet needlessly and was looking to tangle up the runner.
Lousy but legit call.
We only let them win to win the Series at home.
Go Sox!

I heard them say that it was obstruction by his body not his legs. Go Sox!! this series is draining me, love to see them win it at Fenway!

Legit call.
The blown umpire calls were two clearly outside pitches called strikes on Boston with a 2-1 count and runners on bases (or loaded), so now instead of 3-1 counts, its 2-2, which becames 3-2 instead of a walk (and run) which became a strike out.
"Hey, ref, how much the paying you?!" :confused2::laughing: (Yeah, yeah , I know both sides see things the way they want to, but it's funny how the little insignifcant blown calls can change they game when everbody focuses on the big plays. Same w/ football).

Well, we are now tied 2-2. It is now a best 2 of 3 series with two games in Boston. Cards must win with Wainwright and Wacha or I am afraid it will be over. Tonight is HUGE for the Cards.
GO CARDS!

Or Boston reliever Breslow. I thought it was Breslow? (not Salty) who threw the ball 5' above the third baseman's head in Game Two. He didn't show any improvement last night. I guess he pitched well against the Tigers, maybe it's nerves.
