If the Chicago White Sox disagreed with the strange call that ended their comeback hopes last night, they got more fuel for that fire Friday.
According to ESPN's Jesse Rogers, the MLB has reached out to the White Sox and told the team the controversial obstruction call which ended the Sox's comeback hopes in a 8-6 loss to the Orioles on Thursday should not have been made."League reached out to the White Sox , per source. Essentially told them the obstruction call to end the game should not have been made. There IS some discretion there," Rogers reported on X, formerly known as Twitter.
This enacted the infield fly rule. However, umpires ruled the runner at second, Andrew Vaughn, interfered with Henderson as Henderson advanced to make the catch. Vaughn was called out after Henderson caught the popup, which ended the game.According to the Associated Press, the game's crew chief Adrian Johnson said there is no discretion when it appears that a baserunner makes incidental contact with a fielder, even if the play results in a defensive out.
