That was a bad route by Reddick. He tried to cut the ball off, but it got past him and he had to chase it to the wall.

His explanation wreaks of stupidity or bullshit.

I'm leaning toward the latter.

Bregman homers over the tracks in LF

That chases Kikuchi...Adams in

Toro swings at two pitches in the dirt then takes a cookie right down the center

New ballgame...1-1

No, the ball clearly hit the wall and bounced over. It's a double. By rule.

No, it was called a double from the start. It was a pretty clear play, cut and dried rule. Not sure what the hubbub was about.

The radio guys are just as bad in the opposite direction. Ford never has a clue about how far a ball is going. Sparks either. Every blast is described as “that is hit pretty well.” He seems genuinely surprised when a ball goes out.
