WTF happened in Denver last night

Let me start by saying this was one of the freakiest games I've ever seen that literally shaked all the freakyness out of it within the first 5.5 innings. Lets recap this WTF night...

Top 1 seems simple enough. A single a stolen base and then Carlos Lee hits a ball that has a mind of its own past the 3B for a double. 1-0 Fish

Bottom 1: John Buck throws out Dexter Fowler stealing... really?

Top 2: The Rockies commit two straight errors and the Marlins are in business until John Buck forgets that he is a baserunner and actually gets picked off at second by the pitcher... come on man!

Bottom 2: Nothing crazy

Top 3: Gorkys gets his second hit of the game in a bunting fashion. First multihit game for the Marlins and I wouldnt be surprised if ever. Then Jose Reyes decides to try to bunt too... Yeah popped that sucker right up. I bet he does that once a year but right to the pitcher and boom double play.

Bottom 3: Wade LeBlanc channels his inner hockey player, makes a glove save, loses the glove and still gets an out. Here it is.

Top 4: Normal.

Bottom 4: Colorado literally bloops and bunts their way to 2 runs. Coors Field effect. 2-1

Top 5: Seems like a normal inning until Jose Reyes hits a fly ball that just carries and carries. Carlos Gonzalez goes up and...



As you can see in the eyes of the fans there he didnt get it. See it here.


Carlos Gonzalez really did have the ball but running into the fence kind of ended that dream and the Marlins take a 4-2 lead there.

Bottom 5: The small ball and Coors Field effect helps again with broken bat and seeing eye singles galore. The Rockies score 3 as well and its 5-4 Colorado. One of those games right.

Top 6: Here it is... you sit there watching and then Stanton makes you go OMG.... WOW....and HOLY SHIT in the same sentence.


Even he is like "WOW I just hit that ball really really far" Try 494 ft far according to ESPN. Only the 2nd visiting player to hit a home run in 5 straight games at Coors Field tying Jeff Kent. He can tie the MLB record tonight.

PLEASE see this clip all the way through and listen to the Rockies announcer's reaction on how far that ball went.

Donovan Solano follows with a triple and then John Buck a double shortly after and we are sitting at 6-5 Marlins and thats how it ends. It turns into a normal baseball game after that but more importantly we get to see this.


Marlins even the series! 

There are 162 games in a season and you are bound to see wacky stuff going on. Last night was just full of the wacky. Game 3 tonight. Eovaldi on the mound and Stanton going for history.
