Jose Bautista Interference? (Jays-Rays game)

[BrewCrewFan]

Do you agree with this being called interference and the game being over?

If he hadn't reached out with his left hand it wouldn't have been called.

Lol, seemed pretty blatant to me.

Well, got the win at least

One game and I'm already exhausted. 161 to go

It's interference with the new rule (he didn't stay on the bag) and it's interference without the new rule (you've never been able to just grab players while they were attempting a throw). It's a shitty way to end the game, but there would be very few complaints if this happened in the 5th instead of the 9th.

Classic Bautista, he plays hard but sometimes too hard... I love him, but it's plays like this that need to stop.

Joey is the example of playing with a little too much emotion. Clouds his better judgement.

Yeah this was an obvious and easy decision.

It sucks that it ended the game, but it was the right call. Dumb play on his part.

 

[Mudge]

Agreed with all of the above.

By the way, had Forsythe been in proper position, the contact wouldn't have happened. He needs to learn to clear himself better.
