"I didn't know he didn't catch it, to be quite honest. We go over that rule, Teo knows the rule. I think right there he had just a little bit of a brain fart, appreciating that when it does hit the glove you can tag there. But then he tagged, did it correctly, then saw he didn't catch it, he went back. That was the mistake. But he owned it. And after that there's nothing else you can do about it."
"Honestly, I didn't know they ruled it a no catch. I just wanted clarity on the whole situation. And then kind of making sure that they got a couple of forced outs, which they did. And ultimately those guys and replay, the guys on the field got it right. They nailed it."
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 in Game 1 of the NLCS despite a highly unusual double play. With the bases loaded and one out, Max Muncy hit a drive that nearly cleared the center-field wall. Sal Frelick got his glove on the ball, causing it to deflect off the wall, then caught the deflection and threw to the cutoff. Joey Ortiz relayed to home, and Teoscar Hernández was called out after attempting to tag up because the ball was not caught. William Contreras then stepped on third to complete the inning-ending double play. Dave Roberts challenged the force outs but the original calls held, and umpire crew chief James Hoye provided further explanation.
