I popped the Nats game on for a bit last night. I did see Desmond's obstruction call and at regular speed, I thought the umpire made the right call. When they slowed it down, you can see that Desmond was out of the way, and the runner made no contact that would have impeded his progress. And I must have flipped back before seeing Riggleman get tossed or he had virtually no reaction.

I have no problem with Phillips thumping his chest because I know if that happens to me or my team, karma is a bitch and he'll get his. If I'm Burnett, I would have put my next pitch in Scott Rolen's earhole. Nice to see Batista did take up for Nieves later.
