Very similar to the mental lapse Wainwright had in Game 1, he never touched the ball.

I think technically he is charged with the error for not catching a catchable ball, which then allowed a runner to advance to 3b. It's a close/questionable call, as they could have charged it on the throw IMO.

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.

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!
