I just can't.

cannot understand how that play could have happened.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

It was a 400-foot grounded into double play when the ball essentially never hit the ground.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

Now, this is all because Teoscar Hernandez, the runner at third, did not recognize that you have to tag up on that play.

A 12-year-old knows when the ball goes up in the air and you're at third base,

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

First thing you do is stand on third base until the ball is caught or until it hits the ground.

And then, of course, the only person who seemed to understand what was going on was William Contreras, the catcher, who then alertly ran to third base and tagged it because a forced play is still possible.

In play, bases loaded, a ball is hit that doesn't go over the fence and is not caught.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

That means there is a forced play at every base.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

I've never seen anything like that.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

I was on a flight from Toronto to Seattle with a bunch.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

I was on there with an umpire and a bunch of scouts.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

I asked them all, have you ever seen anything like this?

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

And all of them said, never seen anything like it because it's never played.
