Are you guys watching this?

I just saw the strangest double play....Kent out by a mile at home thanks to good throw by Green and good relay.....and then Drew followed Kent anyway, and was out too.

Weird

I just heard this on the radio, and really hope they show highlights later today. I've NEVER seen anything like that!

Mets retake the lead. 2 outs. Men on 2nd and 3rd and Shawn Green grounds out to Nomar. Oddly familiar... Rolling Eyes

guess it wasn't 85, unless it was regular season. i'm just amazed that, at some point in the past, they sent two runners into a tag at home plate.

i can't believe someone was dumb enough to do that once, much less twice. the dodgers have earned a playoff loss with that moment. go mets.

they just said on baseball tonight or whatever is on espn that it was 85, but didn't name the teams. but it was fisk who tagged out both trying to advance on a deep fly. don't know if it was regular season or postseason.

Unassisted Double Plays that do not involve interference generally fall into three types: Popups, Groundouts and Strikeouts plus caught stealing of home. From 1960-2004 there were 31 catcher UDP's. Eight were of the popup variety, four were groundouts, and nineteen were strikeouts plus caught stealing. A fourth variety is the very rare tagging out of two runners. Such notable backstops as Luke Sewell (1933), Darrell Porter (1979), Buck Martinez (1985), Carlton Fisk (1985), Darren Fletcher (1992), and Mike DeFelice (2000) accomplished this feat. Buck Martinez (TOR-A) tagged out Phil Bradley in a home plate collision that broke Martinez' leg. While sitting on the ground in agony, Buck tagged out Gorman Thomas who tried to score on the play.

Tuesday, July 9, 1985
IN THE NEWS: In the bottom of the third inning of a game between the Blue Jays and the Mariners, Phil Bradley is on second with one out when Gorman Thomas singles to right. Jesse Barfield's throw to Buck Martinez nails Bradley, though Martinez breaks his ankle in the collision. When Thomas tries to take 3B on the play, Martinez' throw sails into LF. Thomas tries to score but George Bell's throw to Martinez beats him. Buck makes the catch and tag while sitting on the ground.
