Oh what a night
Still not sure how that ball hit by Francisco Lindor stayed fair. The broadcast talked about how the route that Nick Castellanos took indicated that maybe the ball did something weird in the air, but maybe that’s just Castellanos not being able to judge the ball. Judge it properly and maybe he has a shot at keeping the second run from scoring by playing it properly off the carom, but hey, that’s just me.
But still, how did that ball stay fair?
