well cant sleep for 24 hours straight I tried though man do i burn and itch, ok on the play
I have been around baseball or was lets say for almost 15 years playing and coaching college and up, nothing wrong with the play and not a yanks fan far from it.
Interference happens lot of times and is not call the same as obstruction which is a different rule both are there to protect the runner or fielder in making sure play is normal and no impeding of running or fielding of the ball takes place. This is not something you think about doing it just happens, your mind does not think that fast, you are reacting on both parts to the play. Hell you could call Interferance almost on 2/3's of all double plays because runner is not with in hands reach of bag or runner slides through the bag which are both outs on runner and batter but never called that much in pro, you do see it in college a lot. But this is a reaction not a planned play or action that you practice in the spring, nothing wrong at all with what he did except it was clear interference, not like he planned it or meant to cause harm, people really need to know the game and think before they cry foul and say it was a dirty play , it was not it was a action and reflex that is all and the right call was made, no malice to hurt another player or anything like that if there was he would of been out of game, your mind can't think that fast , the same as a pop up where a guy is on first and ball is hit in inf or infront of plate i hear people all the time yelling hell he should of dropped the ball, well you can't your mind does not work that fast it reacts and the reaction is to catch the ball. this was nothing more then a reaction inwhich lead to a interference call which was right no more no less, it was not a cheap short nor was it dirty it was a reaction.
