A big shout out to the Nationals for their great game last night and hopefully they can become the first team ever to win the World Series without winning a game at home.

Now the real reason for this rant is to complain about the interference call in the seventh inning. I think it was a bad call for two reasons. First, there was no interference because Turner was stepping on the base when the ball arrived and thus couldn’t have interfered. But that brings me to my second point. I have seen many replays and guess what? In everyone of them Turner beat out the throw and was safe even if the guy on first had caught the ball. And quite frankly it looked like first baseman lost his glove and the ball because the throw was off target and pulled him away from the base and so he tried to catch the ball and simultaneously whip his glove at Turner who was already past him.

I did not hear or read anything asking how can you interfere when you beat out the throw. Nobody asked that question and while I’m certainly not an expert on MLB rules, I can’t believe nobody asked the question.
