Thought the umpires in the Dodger/ Brewer game get a thumbs up on correctly getting that very odd double play tonight called correctly from the get go.
After the ball bounced out of Frelicks glove , the LF umpire was on the ball seeing that the ball then hit near the yellow line so by rule even if the ball does fall in the fielders glove , it is IN PLAY . The umpire immediately gave the 'safe sign' indicating 'ball in play ' .
The home plate umpire was on the ball calling the out at home plate as well as the 3rd base umpire calling out there as C Contreras stepped on 3rd for the 2nd force out on the play.
While Frelick in CF had no clue what had happened , the umps called everything correctly right from the get go . Review confirned the play .
Nice job guys !
Congrats to the ump crew in NLCS game tonight !
