NLCS game one between the Brewers and the Dodgers.
We got bases juiced, fourth inning.
This one's brought to you by DraftKings and one of the more insane scenarios I've ever
seen play out.
In a big moment, Muncy thinks he's got a four-run grand slam, a four-run lead.
He thinks he's got a catch.
He still thinks he has a catch.
He fires it to the infield.
They fire it home.
Everyone thought they were going to go to third to get the runner tagging up, but he's
out at home.
And then Contreras is going to run to third.
And guess what?
He's out too.
Who?
Two outs.
It went from grand slam to inning-ending double play.
No one knows what's going on.
Eyeballs are twitching out.
Someone explain it to me, please.
They're on the phone.
Like, what can we do about this?
Do we have any?
Can we fight?
What the **** just happened?
What?
Did I catch it?
No.
Okay, so he ran home, but he's got a tag up because he said he was out.
But if the play's over there, he's like, uh, it's a force out.
And we got the other on the force out.
What?
Caleb Durham's like, what?
Okay, okay.
Explain it to me again.
Uh, okay, yeah, yeah, but why is he out?
He didn't tag him.
So why is he out at home?
Everyone's confused.
Let's just pause.
Freelick turns.
Show me this replay.
I'm just like, let's get together.
Let's watch this bad boy.
The eye concentration off the charts, the balls in the glove.
It pops out.
It did hit the wall right there.
So it's not a catch.
It's not an out, but he gathers it and throws it in and then turns around looking like that
scene in beauty and the beast when he's attacking all the wolves.
I mean, just a crazy, crazy look on this hair wave and turn insane.
So anyway, it almost was a phenomenal catch, but hit the palm.
It did hit the wall.
I don't think he knows it hit the wall.
I don't think Collins knows it hit the wall either, but you know who knew the up down
the left field line was all over it.
And if he does not get this call correct, it is sloppy.
It is chaos.
It is terrible.
He gets it correct immediately and emphatically safe, safe, safe.
Starts waving his hand safe, safe, safe, safe, safe, safe.
Now the other thing is an outfielder cannot bobble the ball forever, juggle it on his
way to the infield.
So all the runners have to tag up and pause.
As soon as the ball makes contact with a fielder, the runner can and should tag.
That's not what happens here.
It hits his glove.
He thinks he caught it.
So he leaves the bag.
Then he sees that he didn't catch it.
It bobbled.
He goes back.
He doesn't have to do that.
He can just still go right now the entire time.
But he goes back, tags up again, then heads home.
It's a force out because he did not catch the ball.
It's just like a routine double play at this point.
And the ball beat him to the back.
So he's out.
But he can say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's a home run.
No, it's a home run because that's cooler and that's better.
Not the only Dodger to be confused, though.
Glass now.
I think he had the right read on it.
He goes, oh, he's the one standing up in the middle.
Oh, and then he goes, wait, what?
And he thinks it's caught.
Meanwhile, Kopech to his left.
He's signaling home run, home run, home run.
No one really knows.
Will Smith on the bases.
He did not see it hit the wall.
He's screaming.
In fact, go back, go back, go back, go back.
Let's not get doubled up.
Go back, go back.
Let's not get doubled up because he thinks they caught it.
I think both outfielders think it was a catch.
I don't think he realized it hit the wall.
He's bouncing around.
He lost his hat.
Probably thinking about that.
Collins celebrates out right here.
He kind of goes, yeah, out, unless he's just doing a fist pump.
But I think he's celebrating out.
But both Brewers infielders had the play going to home.
Means they knew he didn't catch it.
He's just turning and firing home.
And that confused me because I thought he caught it in live time because the announcer
said he caught it.
And then I thought they were going to go to third with this ball because he had probably
left early and tagged up.
They're going to double him up.
But these infielders knew it.
So they had a better read on it than Will Smith, the base runner.
He's maybe blocked and the ball beats him for the force out.
And then they're like, let's get another look at that crazy play.
Bases loaded Muncy gets a hold of one.
It's a single in the book, I guess.
But a double play.
No, it's not a single.
No, it's a fielder's choice.
Double play.
Ah, Jimmy.
Anyway, the umps, the umps come back and they're like, hey, guess what?
We ******* nailed it.
After you, the call on the field, the force out at home plate is confirmed.
The runner is out.
Wow is right.
Muncy thought he just hit a grand slam, kind of stops and watches it.
This guy behind him thought he had a grand slam and he was upset.
And kudos to this umpire for running out there and getting the call correct.
Because had he botched it, it's chaos.
I've done breakdowns, a couple when they get it wrong.
And then they're like, but where do the base runners go?
But boom, both managers usually end up very mad.
Thank you very much.
A draft Kings for making this happen.
Thank you for this play taking place after all of my kids were in bed on paternity leave.
So breakdowns are a little slower right now, but I appreciate, yeah.
And this one happened.
Perfect timing.
I was like, Oh yeah, let's do it.
That's insane.
