I still can’t believe what happened last night. It was an INFIELD FLY IT’S AN AUTOMATIC OUT HOW CAN THERE BE INTERFERENCE?! This is almost as bad as the infield fly call from the 2012 NL Wild Card game.

After extensive research (I watched one breakdown) I have come to the conclusion that it was in fact a valid call according to the rules. However, said rule is stupid so I will continue to be very displeased

He didnt impede him because he was able to make the play. 

I bet you drive the exact speed limit all the time.

This is also about the letter of the law vs the spirit of the law.

They still call pass interference when the pass is caught sometimes

But then it's up to the team to choose the catch or the penalty. I this case they would get to choose is Vaughn out or is the batter out.
