haha, watch it again. Middlebrooks is totally prone and just as Craig goes to jump over him middlebrooks lifts his lower legs in the air to trip him.
The natural move for a fielder who has fallen and is prone like Pedroia did moments before is to try to get up by putting your hands down on the ground and pushing up as you use your hip flexors and core to pull your legs under you.
This was total intentional attempt to obstruct. They got the call right but there was also intent.
Love the arguing by the red sox to no avail. I am only pulling for the cards as I am a national league fan.
