Twitter Was Absolutely Furious After Brutal Call In Game 6 Of World Series

Game 6 of the World Series took a weird turn in the seventh inning Tuesday night.

Trea Turner was attempting to beat out a swinging bunt when the ball got away from Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel. Instead of second and third with no one out, the umpires called Turner out for interference, hindering the Washington Nationals’ chances at extending the lead. It was, by most accounts, the wrong call.

Here’s the play:

This was followed by some appropriate reactions once the call was upheld:

Call upheld.

Unreal.

What a failure.

That’s inexcusable by MLB.

That's a preposterously bad call.

That was the worst call I’ve ever seen in a baseball game. @mlb do better.

They made a horrendous call, then reviewed the horrendous call and upheld it https://t.co/Wcgths4y8p

Here's the biggest problem with that call: If Brad Peacock doesn't make a bad throw to first base, Yuli Gurriel isn't stretched into the baseline. If he's not stretched into the baseline, Trea Turner doesn't run into him.

So … you penalize Turner for a crap Peacock throw? Huh?

Not to worry, however, Anthony Rendon responded two batters later with a two-run bomb to give the Nationals a 5-3 lead.
