Triple Play

[Dean]

Two triple plays this year in High School.

 

1st one: Top of 7th Visiting team down by 2.  Runner on 1st and 2nd. Batter hits a dropping line drive to F5, Runners are moving.  (why I don't know)  Third baseman catches the ball, while the runners stand on the base they were advancing to. Third baseman throws to second, to first- triple play.  Visiting coach is saying to us - "you gonna let the game end that way?"  - Didn't say it but was thinking, "yes, 3 outs your behind in 7, game over."

 

2nd one: This was last Saturday in district play. Line to short (runners going) catch; tag on runner advancing to 3rd, throw home gets the runner out. Triple Play. That was in bottom of 5th - that runner would have been the 10 run rule - and game over - but had to play one more.  Only play that team did correctly all game.

What on earth could he have been asking? He wanted a few more outs?

 

I can think of a few more sarcastic responses:

• No, you're right: let's see if the home team can tack on a few more in the bottom half!
• No, you're right: let's go ahead and play 9 innings today!
• No, you're right: you're ejected. Now it's over.

The idiot probably wanted IFF.  I'd have gone with Maven's 3rd point.  See ya!!!
