you guys must have not seen that hr that the rockies got robbed of in the later part of the game. extra innings may not have been needed.

What a horrible call on the biggest play of the year.

San Diego sports fans are gonna be jumpin off bridges.

Well, the umps owed the Rox a run after blowing the call on the Garrett Atkins homerun.

BTW, my two fave sports teams are the Cowboys and the Rockies. I am really enjoying this year in sports!

I was flipping back and forth between that game and MNF so I guess I missed that...

It was an exciting game nonetheless... which is rare for baseball...

I disagree on the 'horrible call' comment.

According to the rules, a player may not block a base/plate impeding the runners path without the ball. Holliday was impeded, as was his hand.

As long as the fielder is holding the ball, he can block the base/plate however he likes to make the play.

Barrett never had control of the ball.

Ruling should have been obstruction- i.e. dead ball- plate awarded to the runner.

I cant remember the last time they enforced that rule. Blocking the plate with or without the ball has become common place.

Besides as somone from Colorado I think he caught the black part of the plate with his pinky.

It's kind of an unwritten rule. If the ball is still in the outfield, then the catcher can get called for interference.

But if the ball is on it's way home, they never enforce that rule.

Kind of like holding, eh? It is illegal but refs/umps only call it when they feel like it.
