Joe Maddon inexplicably had pitcher Travis Wood playing LF.

Seattle hit a ball into the ivy, and he caught it.

Joe Maddon is next level brilliant/lucky as a baseball man.

meanwhile, SF pinch hit for a pitcher with another pitcher, then pinch ran for that guy with another pitcher. -- nm - Reagen Jul 31, 20:52
Had hoped he stayed with the Halos, took over for Scoscia -- nm - budice Jul 31, 20:40
He almost Bump'd his way through the wall and onto the permanently disabled list. -- nm - Max Jul 31, 19:43 1
- *almost* like a fox! -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:45
I'm guessing he had him out there to bring in to face a lefty (and then switch back with the other pitcher). He's done that before. -- nm - pmb Jul 31, 19:43 4
- That's what I expected but the pitcher handled the entire inning while Wood stayed in Left. -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:45 3
  - Maybe in case someone got on base? I don't know. But in Maddon we trust. -- nm - pmb Jul 31, 19:48 2
    - I'm like 70% sure he was just being goofy. -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:49 1
      - It's entirely possible. Wood is a good athlete. He pinch runs and pinch hits from time to time. He could easily just be letting him have some fun. -- nm - pmb Jul 31, 19:52
