Re: 2017 MLB Season - The Goat Memorial Thread
Most bizarre triple play ever in Red Sox -- Orioles game. Moreland on second, Pedroia on first, Bradley batting. Pop fly to short left field -- playable by the shortstop, infield fly rule not called (I thought that was the criterion for infield fly rule was playable by an infileder). Shortstop drops pop fly. Picks up ball, starts to throw to third, but runner on second held, so shortstop throws to second. Second baseman takes throw, tags out runner on second (out 1), who looks confused and is just standing there, but not on the base. Second baseman then touches second base, forcing runner on first (out two) then throws to first. Bradley hasn't run out the fly so first baseman touches first base, retiring the batter (out three). Brain farts by runner on second and batter.
