That's one way to end an inning

Did you see how the top of the 10th ended in tonight's game between Houston and the Yankees? It's worth searching out. I don't think I've ever seen a play like that before. --Bob

And Tony Kemp was having so much fun at bat. He was really was.

Well, the best I can do is a play by play.....


Astros - Top 10th

Chapman pitching for NYY

González grounded out to shortstop.

Stassi struck out swinging.

Kemp walked.

Kemp to second on wild pitch by Chapman.

Kemp out at third on runner's fielder's choice.



Dafuq!?!? I have never ever heard that term used before and don't even know what it would mean....

I guess it's to differentiate that from a play in which the runner is caught stealing. The idea is for stolen base and caught stealing statistics to accurately reflect actual attempts at stolen bases and not instances where the ball gets away or a runner takes a base on defensive indifference.

If Kemp had taken off with the pitch, it would have been recorded as caught stealing. Similarly if he took off with the pitch and the ball got away from the catcher so there was no throw, it would be a stolen base and not a wild pitch or passed ball.

In case you haven't found the highlight yet, Chapman airmailed another pitch to the backstop. However, it hit so high and so hard that it bounced off the backstop right back to Sanchez, who caught the rebound on the fly and threw out Kemp at third. --Bob
