Why wasn't Stephen Drew standing on 2B on that "base hit"? Why, because Mr. Drew thought his ball would be caught and ran to 1B at only half speed. Come on man, this is the Big show, 100% effort 100% of the time.
Beltran crashed into the padded wall at 1 mph. No wonder he had to leave the game.the loss of Beltran will be big......
Ain't gonna happen, no way, no how.I can't imagine baseball in November though.
Gutsy call. It was the correct call but a lot of umpires would have ignored it. There was no effort on Middledrooks part to stand up or get out of the way. He was attempting to impede the runner from going home. If Middlebrooks doesn't interfere I don't think it is even close at home.A good call, get on with the next game.
I think it was the only call. Intentional or not is irrelevant. He obstructed/impeded Craig.Gutsy call.

It looks obvious to me when the third baseman's legs come up a second time.
Too bad that incident took the spotlight away from Pedroia who made a great play to get the ball and throw it to his catcher for the out. Dustin is my kind of player. 100% effort, 100% of the time.Gutsy call. It was the correct call but a lot of umpires would have ignored it.
