Seeing the replay on a new angle, Craig totally b-tagged Middlebrooks on the reach down to the ground to steady himself. Ouch.
Here's a pretty good frame of it...this is before Craig tripped..
Well, I think the call had something to do with the outcome.
I remember like it was yesterday the Red Sox bitterly complaining after game 3, 1975 Series, that the Reds got away with interference and that it was a shame the Sox lost.
Now, 38 years later, I'm watching the Red Sox after another game 3 saying the Cards got a bad obstruction call and it was a shame the Sox lost.
History repeats itself, kind of.

Craig could have tripped over third and tumbled ten feet into foul territory. Craig could have gotten up and had the same situation happened or a similar one happened where somehow a fielder impeded him from advancing then its obstruction.
If the runner wasn't protected you would have fielders jumping in his way trying to keep him from scoring.
Your focusing to much on the basepath.

This play made me turn the sound up and be exposed to Carver and McBuck, something I prefer to never do.

Middlebrooks was attempting to stand up...that's why his legs initially came up. Craig pushed him down, tripped, got up, changed course back towards the basepath then stumbled towards home plate.
