Who was supposed to cover home on that run down?  Loup or Walsh?

Yes.

You should become the catcher. Maybe you’ll finally afford to live in CA, slugger.

Catching sucks.  I had to do it from time to time and it sucked every time.

The lack of a proper pickle play has left the Angels in quite a bottom-of-the-ninth pickle.

Loup did slip on his way home, but just not quick enough.

If it wasn’t bad enough last night between the Stassi & Loup disaster, manager Phil Nevin wasn’t even challenging a ball-4 call on three balls.

The 9th inning

The Amateur Hour 

[PattyD22]

Let this just sink in for a minute.  The combination of Duggar, Stassi and Velazquez were a combined:

0-11 with 10 strikeouts and 10 runners stranded on base.  Of those 10 strikeouts, I’d hazard to say half we’re looking, but I’d be guessing.

That is complete dogshit, no matter what level of baseball we’re talking about.

Actually, 8 of the ten were swinging third strikes.

Still pathetic that three hitters struck out 10 times between them

At this rate, O’Hoppe could become the #1 catcher by a year from now.

So I was off by a few…...semantics.

I was thinking about that 9th inning and trying to remember if I had ever seen something similar. 
 

closest I could come up with was a game in the late 80s with Howard Johnson playing third. Three errors in that game. Towards the end a beach ball rolled onto the field. Howard got that one cleanly and received a mocking standing ovation in return.

Willie Davis committed 3 errors in one inning in the 1966 WS.
