As usual, Beales did a bang up job running the COTUT. How he finishes in the top 5 every year while hosting this thing is beyond me.
Anyway, check out these RBI firsts for me:
* saw Rafael Santana hit a home run. No shit. Not even a wallzie. It barely cleared the wall, but clear the wall it did. I gave up said HR to Bridges...kind of a long story, but in the history of RBI with Riley, we've always tried to talk the other into keeping Santana in the line up by offering an "a" ball--that is, center the P on the rubber and grove it right down the middle. Santana probably has a lifetime batting average of .100 in these situations. Bridges was intrigued by this and asked if I'd agree to it. I did. Santana agreed, too.
* Me vs. Riley...he had the bases loaded with one out. He hit a high pop foul ball that went into the stands behind the backstop...just before the ball was out of play, the game called his runner on 2nd base out. I think he must have accidentally returned the runner on 2nd to 2nd and sent the runner on 1st to second and they got to the base at the exact same time...what's even more weird is when the screen returned to the batter, the bases were still loaded (although there were now 2 outs).
* Me vs. Riley again...Riley hit another foul ball, this time toward the home dugout. I thought the ball was going to go into the stands, so I wasn't really paying much attention although I did run to the dug out. The ball actually bounced on the field next to my fielder (ball, fielder, dugout) and THEN was caught by my fielder for an out. It very clearly bounced one time before the fielder got the ball, yet the foul was recorded as an out.
Finally, while there were no P home runs, Bridges said he's seen it. He said it was a wallzie with Ojeda. If Bridges says it, I believe it...I just don't think there's any chance he'd lie about such a thing and nobody could just be wrong about something like that.
That's some serious glitching action.

I have seen this happen once

WOW! I have never seen a Santana homer either, probably the only non-pitcher I can think of. Truly speechless...
