quickly out. Bailey just in time. Wow, that is a gold glove play from a gold glover. Well, most difficult place in baseball is the catcher coming out of a squat to chase a ball down. And this had to be an awkward throw because of how far he had to come out and how little time he had. TJ Fredel could fly. And in the end, it wouldn’t even close. A perfect strike to Lu Jr. So, it winds up being a sacrifice, but it could have been a base hit had not been for the brilliance of Patrick Bailey. Bailey’s got to hurry. Got him. at home juno. Good speed with Doyle at first. Bailey comes back and shows the ball and battling. He makes the guy feel comfortable about that. The wind can bring you right back into where the helmet becomes an obstacle. That’s just a great play. What a jump pop up. Mother nature messing with Patrick Bailey. And if you look at the flags, you can see why. So there’s the bunt and Bailey will make the play. The two- two pitch is hit on the ground softly to first. Smith has it. He’s coming home. The tag out at the plate. Tom Smith fielded the ball and very quickly made the decision to come home, not just take the out at first and he made a solid throw home. Bailey was there. Patrick Bailey got that tag down. Now the Guardians are asking for a minute again to look at the play. Maybe not just whether he was safe or out, but whether Bailey was impeding the play at home plate, but they’re not going to challenge. It’s an out of the race ready. Tapper out in front of home plate. This is going to be a hard play. Bailey got him. How about that? I mean, these plays we’re seeing these catchers make tonight are not easy. And this is the most difficult one in that he had to come a long way for it. and off balance. How he got that much on it with that much accuracy is what made the beauty of the play. Walker throws little tapper up the third base side out to get it as Bailey spins around the first in time. That was good for curve ball. There goes Turner. Pitch high throw. Perfect tag. Got him. Well, one NC State Wolfpack draw throwing out another one right there. Turner goes first move. Quick exchange. Great tag on the other end by Willadamus to There goes the runner and the throw. He is out now. Here is Lordes Guriel. The runner going. The throw by Da. He’s out. That’s a high knee kick. It didn’t really give a lot of help to Bailey, but he made up on his own pop time. Perfect strike. And boy does a catcher love a middle infielder who’ll stick his nose in there to put on a tag. Brother goes down to second. Got him. Double play. And the runner goes and Baileyy’s going to get it and throw. And they got it. Welcome back, Patrick Bailey. If this ball stands up, welcome back anyway. And for Patrick Bailey, who’s got one of the quickest times in all of baseball on a strike. Bill is putting down the tag. And they got him. And the runner goes throw this time. If this holds up, what a strong throw by Bailey. And again, you got to throw around or over or behind Bow and he goes behind him and throws a absolute strike out by an inch, maybe less. That’s the big leagues. Now the runner goes. The pitch is swinging a miss. Bailey’s throw, the tag. He is out at second base. Now there goes the runner. The pitch is taken. Strike three called to throw to second. The tag and it’s a double play. bars. Nuke bar. There go the runners. First pitch is high. Bailey’s throw to third and they got him. Chapman gets the tag down. Smith or rather Scott is out. He’s still standing on third. The Cardinals checking with their video room. I mean that’s what are they going to do?
