That was one heck of a play by the MIL 3B’man Hamilton. He was near to being in deep LF when he squeezed that baseball for the out.
That “dead ball” rule is a good one too 1TD. Call it either a foul ball, under the thought that the ball went out of play, or a dead ball given that the ball was interfered with and could not achieve its natural landing spot.
On the off day for AL teams, it also gives them an extra rest day for pitchers. Just an odd set up to have a day off after only one game of a best of five.
Yeah, Bikemike, I say treat it like it never happened. Don’t even penalize the batter with a strike in the event that the roof or any other section of the structure that’s situated out of play interferes with the movement of the baseball. Keep it simple. Even if it annihilates a pigeon in a murderous puff of feathers and guts it’s a, “dead ball”…Haha!
The last 2 times (’82 and ’11) that the Brewers got this close to the promised land they were dispatched by the St. Louis, Cardinals, but the Redbirds are nowhere to be found in ’26 post-season land. so after watching the first 2 games of their NLDS against the Padres, I’m thinking this may be the year that they hit the proverbial jackpot.
Dodgers in deep trouble in the visitor half of the 8th with the bases jammed up and 1 out, but Sasaki gets a ground ball for a 6-4-3 GIDP to escape and give his team a fighting chance still down to the Braves 3-1 as the Dodgers come to bat in the home half. We’ll see what happens.
3-1 Atlanta your final.
Doyers now must go to Atlanta and face Chris Sale.
Three-peat isn’t looking great at the moment.
It’s now a best of 3 with the Braves in possession of HFA. Things change in hurry. We’ll see what happens.
He attempted to impersonate Fingers or Sutter and record 6 outs. A routine endeavor for those two HOF’ers, but not so much for a closer these days. They’re all limited to being a 9th inning guy in today’s game.
Cleveland currently leads the ChiSox.
2-1 Indians in the home half of the 5th at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland.
A razors’ edge game in CLE heading to the visitor half of the 6th as the Indians cling to sliver of a lead as they try avoid the White Sox’ broom.
After Pham pops out to shallow LF with baserunners aboard at 2B and 3B, Montgomery delivers the 2 out, 2 RBI double to lift the White Sox to a 3-2 7th inning lead over the Indians at CLE.
Now Meldroth pokes a 2 out RBI single to RF to push Montgomery across and extend the White Sox lead to 4-2.
Watching this Indians-ChiSox game with Chicago hitting Cleveland with 3 6th inning tallies to seize a 4-2 advantage…..but I really like what this Indians reliever Hunter Gaddis brings to the table. I’m thinking we could swing a deal for him this winter. Gotta love the long hair and ZZ Top looking beard, coupled with his nasty stuff. Having both Gassy and Gaddis in our pen would be pretty darn Sweet…..with a capital “S”.
These White Sox are on a proverbial roll that brings to mind that Ozzie Guillen led ’05 team that went 11-1 in that year’s postseason to win a WS championship.
I really get a kick watching how demonstrative some of these umps can be. Especially in big games they almost get carried away when making the call for the home team that they know will bring thunderous applause. In a way it probably psychologically gives them quite a boost.
I had to look it up, Pugs, and it was Bobby Jenks from that ’05 White Sox team who recently died at 44 years of age after a bout with cancer. I knew that Wilber Wood had recently passed away, but the only two guys that I can consistently recall from that ’05 team are Guillen and A. J. Pierzynski. That ’05 WS championship team had a lot of players who I wouldn’t term as household names, but were solid baseball players. A genuine team effort.
Yankees hand over the first run of the game to the Rays with their second Das Boot of the circus show home half of the 1st inning.
