It's stuff like this and David Ross pitching that make me love Joe Maddon.

Unreal, he comes back in to pitch and strikes one out and picks off the inherited runner. An unbelievable game for him.

I don't recall ever seeing a pitcher get swapped into a fielding slot and coming back in to pitch a few innings later.

I remember Chuck Tanner doing it with Kent Tekulve in the 70s a few times.

Now the Cubs starting Catcher makes a sliding catch in LF.

BTW- Wood and Strop played LF in a game earlier this year and both came back and pitched I believe.

Maybe, but Wood came in and pitched, then went to left field and then came back in to pitch again. That's crazy. It was like 45 minutes between his pitches. On top of that the inning he was in left he had a definite webgem.

Very true....also forgotten, Wood came into pitch with runners at 2nd and 3rd and nobody out. After walking the first batter he retired the next 3 batters not allowing a run

Wow!! Best game of the year so far!

 

[mutiger]

And another pitcher wins the game with a safety squeeze! Unreal

 

[Beaker]

Wow!! Best game of the year so far!

Agreed man! Fucking amazing! People say baseball is boring, but it has some of the best highs in all of sports.

What a game.

Glad the M's dropped a game they could have won. Thanks Wilhelmsen and Cishek
