MLB - Oddities - Bloopers

Tim Timmons is signaling to the tarp. I think the folks, the grounds crew members behind the tarp, I think the tarp is a little bit angled out from the wall. Is that because kicked off the field? Why is that? I've never seen that. Off the body of the first baseman, but it ricochets right to Farmer, barehand, Iglesias covers the first baseman's leg. He goes over there. Look at this athletic play, though. I mean, it was a bad throw. Took him off the bag. He dives for it. Pitch. Swung on a rope to Seager. He's got it again. Fires back to first. It gets away from Beatty. Getting up and heading to second is Jastrzemski. He's going to be out. Beatty played the deflection perfectly, and Jastrzemski is out. Originally drafted by the twins, and that got away. One off the end of the bat. I did, too. But DeJong didn't. Speeding it down to first base for an infield hit. What was that? That's a ball! What is a balk? What in the world was that? That will balk. Beard decides to throw it. Watch. How about that? That's a ball! You don't see that every day, either. Oh, my goodness. Two-two pitch. On the ground, a shortstop. Acuna can't move. Comes up on Rosario. The quick throw, and it gets away from Pete Alonzo. Head of Acuna, Jr., and just threw the glove because it broke of Alonzo. So they're going to give an E-6 to Rosario. Deals it, and a jammed shot. Bounced it to Moustakis, and a high throw is going to be off the sidewall. Now they've got to have a play. Hira fires to second. The tag is out. You can see Hira is going to bust it over to the line. Against left-handed pitching. Well, they got Iglesias picked off to throw to second. Good. And out now. He was called safe. Got back and tagged him after that. They tagged him up high with the leg getting in. Stuff to tell there. Here's the pitch, and that swung on a high pop-up on the infield. Third baseman Seager, shortstop Crawford Seager, finding the sun. Can't find it. The ball drops, and safe at second base. That's what the A's do. We talk about all the guys, one through nine, guys coming off the bench. They hustle, and they give them, put themselves. Don't think this is going to do it. It drops. Charging home is Mercado. He just backs off. So Castellanos should have just probably taken it. He was underneath it. I didn't see him. Slapped the other way. With a center fielder, Munoz diving behind. Certainly, first things first. Not that he would have gotten a double out of this watch. No. Yeah, he has no idea where it is. In your career? Of course. What was Hansen doing? What was that? I don't know if he saw where the ball went. I think he hit it, and he thought he hit a foul ball into the seats. His glove up three-two. Oh, right back at him, off the glove. Goodrum with a bare hand. Oh. Looked like a free moment, let me tell you. Going one other time as this comes to Murphy. Rhian assisted over at third base, which you don't see a whole lot of, but Murph did the right thing. Make sure Nick and Matt goes all the way. Third base side, Forsyth, and Yohan fell as he came out of the batter's box. Yohan is down. It doesn't look good because his position. Maybe he just slipped, so we'll see when we come back if Yohan remains. Stanton checks swing, gets a piece of it. That hit the glove again. Interference. We've had catcher's interference twice in three batters on here with Severino, but, I mean, he is just too close to home plate. I mean, this happens just every now it's. And he's trying it. Will it stay fair? It will. I'm thinking to myself, if he lays down a bunt to third, it's a run, and right here, Brian took it. Good baseball. And I'm watching Chris Bryant the whole inning. He's. I think Darnell might have gotten lunched. Long swing by McCutcheon. No harm, no foul. Delphia. And McNeil puts it in play. Hoskins comes home and hit the plate. We're pretty sure they got the out at the plate. Joe. Joe was staying in there as long as he could to make sure he saw. The 1-0. Swing and a roller up the third baseline. It hits the bag. Ricochets into short left field behind Rendon. Cano will go to third. Davis digging for second, and he's going position with nobody out, and Rosario coming up. You can kind of see the trouble brewing for Rendon the whole way. That ball just hugged. As Real Muto gets under a pitch and pops it a mile in the air. To defer to him, third baseman should catch the ball cleanly. They caught a break right there. I love that slow-mo look. Just keeping his cool. Fair hand. Bounced to short. Iglesias up with that. Hang on. What do we have? Catcher interference here? From extended and right there. Yep, there it is. Knocked the mitt. That bat is, oh, I thought it was his follow-through, but the bat broke, and it came back. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. It hit Perez right on the. He hit it right off the end. Look at, and it broke. You can't see it. And on the follow. Comes with an extra interesting delivery. It's got the left. Depends. Who can't find the ball, and that is how the. You know where the ball was. And regardless of the jerseys wearing, and Johnny sees it right away, oh, no. And they signed him, and now breaking for third is Simmons, and he is going to be safe. Initially, he was called to home plate. He was looking right at second, where Simmons was the base runner, and Simmons still broke for third base and got there in time. Hold the two-strike pitch, and that one came in and got Dietrich on the elbow, and they're going to say, no, he didn't get out of the way. No, he tried to get hit. There's no doubt about it. Whether he's ever been called back or not, the fact remains. That's a good call by the umpire. I've heard of throwing the middle, but this is extreme. That was awesome. Wow. That's a ball skills even when the bat's not in your hand, right? This is in the air to left field, and it's going to get in for a base hit. Around from second base is Cronenworth. He'll score, and the Padres take a one-nothing lead. Jammed, and he hit it twice. The ball off the handle. Still following through. Hit for an RBI single. He hit that ball twice. Richards fell down and lost his footing as that ball bounced halfway between home and heap. Good play by Reece McGuire to catch that ball and then have the presence of mind to try and pick the runner off. What just happened there? That was a little blue. And he tried to throw the ball back. Look at it. Hit him in the helmet. Boink. Ouch. Hello. But a strong play at the plate. So, like, trying to get back to third down. Devers will lunge and get him. Between first and second.
