What the hell just happened?

I think they called the runner on 2nd out for interfering with Gunnar when he was tracking the ball.  And then HP called infield fly, so it was a double play on an infield fly rule.

Kimbrel has 4 near perfect outings in a row (each one inning, no hits, no walks, one hit batter).

5 great outings in a row for Kimbrel. 

It's been 15 days since he allowed a hit or a walk or a run.   But people on this board act like a bunch of scared little children when he comes in.

My feed froze. When it started again, the Os were congratulating themselves. The radio guys didn’t say what happened. So what happened?

[Moose Milligan]

That was weird but whatever.

What was the interference though? Gunnar caught it cleanly.

Lol...I'd be going crazy if I were the WS manager.

Yeah that’s probably one of the worst calls I’ve seen all season. At least it went in our favor this time.

I guess the umps are trying to make nice with us.  

[Tony-OH]

Always like hearing from Jorge. He's easy to root for.

[Malike]

I can't remember feeling worse about a win. They pitched poorly enough to lose against a team that scores 2 runs/game.

[Emory Eagle]

Their bad vibes were worse than our bad vibes.

Or the umpire who made the call had a bet on the Orioles to win it.

Yeah, hopefully that is behind him.

[Aristotelian]

How can they call interference after the IFF rule is already in effect?

A routine high  popup to short that Gunnar came in for and caught on the infield grass for out #2.

However, apparently the ump ruled that somehow the runner on 2nd touched Gunnar or something as he was coming in for the popup, so they called that runner out for interfering with a fielder.

So the popup was actually out #3.

Never seen that before.   And they have yet to show us a good replay to see what the "interference" was.

It's an Orioles fan thing.
