Had he caught it there would have been no throw, no advance, etc. I can see it either way. The biggest mistake was that the throw didn't go to 2nd.

Nice to see great umpiring. Made the right call again!

Obstruction
Unreal chain of events! Talk about having victory snatched out of the mouth of disaster...any rulebook gurus know when the obstruction rule went into the MLB rulebook? Never seen anything like it. Crazy, just nuts.
Beats the hell out of basketball.

I understand the obstruction rule, but one simple question remains--What is the player (Middlebrooks) supposed to do?---suddenly become invisable?
The call was correct for the rule as written, but it is a Bull---t rule! ---and before anyone says Will tripped him by raising his legs, the runner tripped his own self up on Will's back/butt, not on his legs. No game should be decided like that, no matter who you root for! The rule definitely needs to be rewritten immediately!

Doesn't matter. Craig has a right to the base and base paths and as long as he is within those lines then the responsibility is on the fielder.
All well & good, but Middlebrooks was flat on the ground w/ the runner basically on top of him---he can't roll away, he can't get up & he certainly can't suddenly become "the invisable man" now, can he? There is no common sense being applied in allowing what happened, to happen!

The rule needs to read: In a case like this the runner is safe and returns to the original base (in this case 3rd). Only if the umpires rule there was intent then the runner is awarded the next base even if thrown out.
Just my thought. I am neither a Red Sox nor Cardinals fan, but to end a World Series game like this?
