Triple play in the Angles game!!

Looks like the Angels turned a triple play to keep it tied in the top of the 9th.

Under review.

Grounder to SS, checks runner at 3rd, continues with DP, runner takes off for home and gets thrown out by the 1B man.

Is Mountcastle falling in love with going the other way?  Maybe tonight I guess.

Diaz must have not been running on contact and broke late. It's all I got.

I hate it when our offense scores a lot early and then starts coasting.

Hard 6-4-3 DP then the 1Bman throws home to get the runner trying to score from 3rd, tagged out by C

He did

Triple play upheld on a THREE part review from New York:

1) 1Bman DID keep his foot on the bag long enough to complete out #2.

2) There was no violation of the catcher blocking the plate rule

3) The runner was tagged before touching the plate.

Don't think I've ever seen a 3-parr review before.  #1 and #3 were obvious on replay, no way they would be overturned.  As for #2, who can say?  I don't really fully understand the rule so nothing would surprise me.

How did this guy get cut with an Era in the 3's?
