Boston is solid. St. Louis not so much. | ||

Beltran in 163 at bats postseason: .337 avg. .449 OBP 16 HR 37 RBI Papi is something like 17 HR, 59 RBI, .384 OBP and .280 average | ||

Are those Ortiz or Beltran stats? I think Ortiz is going to have a huge amount of trouble getting in because of the PEDs, even though he's removed the scourge of it for the most part. The fact that he's pretty much never played defense also isn't going to help him. There's a possibility that he hits 500 HRs though, and everyone whose done that's cleanly is in, so he might stand a chance if he can get the PED stain off. | ||

But that was a good play by the 3rd baseman even if he was called for obstruction. He has to try to do everything possible if he realizes they are about to lose, even if it means leaving a tough decision up to the umps. That is something that was upsetting about Ethier in the 9th inning of one of the NLCS games. He had a chance to get in the way and possibly obstruct the 2nd baseman catching the ball and disrupting the double play on Puig at 1st and instead didn't do anything and it was a DP.. | ||

There some images out there that make it looks like he took a weird turn and Middlebrooks was out of the standard basepath. He would have been safe barring a amazing play, so the call was okay, but that he wasn't in the standard basepath. Let me go try and find it so you guys see what I mean. the person who uploaded it editorialized it already, apologies for that. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/e0bKfUo.png) Also the umpire was atrocious on calling balls and strikes. I don't think he was a very good pick to do the world series. It was dana demuth. | ||

It was also the correct play by the 3rd baseman. Everyone did everything correctly imo. I meant the 3rd baseman made a "good play", though not necessarily a "legal one", since at that point you just want to do everything you can to give your team a chance. Even if it means making it a tough decision for the umps to call..the point is he tried everything he could, which is what I disliked about that Ethier play I posted. | ||
