That looked like the right call to me. Middlebrooks definitely tripped him, and did it intentionally. (dunno if that matters)

I disagree. I dont think he did it intentionally at all. He was going after the ball and his legs when up. Kind of like when a WR and a DB get tangled up and no pass interference is called.

His legs went up, then went down, then went up again. That's not a natural movement in that situation.

He made the right call. Watch the last ditch effort pulling his legs back to trip Craig.

Lol ya his legs magically happened to go up perfectly timed while the game winning run in the World Series ran right over him
It was a desperate attempt to save the game and it failed

I dont think that should have been called and have a WS game end that way. The Sox gave the Cards 2 wins on bad throws to 3rd

Regardless of intention, he is blocking the base path and that is obstruction. You can't trip a player. If it was intentional, he lost his team the game. If not, he still blocked the base path.

Like I said... you would have been whining like a baby if that had gone against the Cards.
