The Orioles had a triple play that was almost identical to the one in Boston, started by Melvin Mora against Cleveland. A pop-up, the ump didn't call the infield fly rule, and Mora knew what to do.

Man I have a vague recollection.

I think Rafael Furcal had an unassisted triple play that by the nature of it being unassisted, had the guy out by a lot.

Guess I should should have qualified it by saying on a traditional triple play.

Your simplest, most basic 5-4-3.   Hard grounder right to Manny and he was playing pretty close to the line.   Easily fielded , took two steps, stepped on the base, fired to Schoop, on to first.   Wasn't even close at first.

It was a thing of classical beauty.

Unlike Vargas, Boyd actually has a fastball.

The previous two triple plays in O's history were on infield fly non-calls. I can't remember the last ground ball triple play they've had.

We turned a 5-4-3 like that on Mattingly once.   At Memorial Stadium.   Only one I ever saw in person.

Rickard is not a high ball hitter.

Thanks for posting, miss Jon Miller and Joe Morgan on Sunday night baseball. Sunday night baseball used to be must watch tv for me. Then they went to Kruk then to Boone, horrible and boring.

Davis has too much speed!

[Moshagge3]

Horrible-looking slide. He looked like a dad relaxing on a lazy river.

[Yossarian]

Did someone give Davis the steal sign or was he just so excited to be on base he went on his own?

I don't think Gary remembers how bizarre that Boston triple play was. It started with a miscommunication and a pop up that fell in between Hardy and whoever was in left at the time. 

Gary's vision may have been a bit blurry by that point of the game.

Can Tilly have a decent inning now, please.

Is McCann a poor thrower? Or is this guy slow to the plate?

We never run so curious
