It doesn't matter, the fact is he got picked off.
That's fine and dandy, but if Crede ends up grounding into a double play there would you all be saying "well it was illegal". No you'd be calling for his head, as well as i would. The thing is that it doesn't matter whether he it was Illegal or not. Had we not won, it would have been an L. And we could probably have blamed it all on Carlos, illegal or not.
