So, does it count?  

On Wednesday night, fans during Wrigley Field were wondering either or not a best locate they’ll see all year would indeed be an out. 

During a sixth inning of their 3-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Cubs initial baseman Anthony Rizzo hawked Ryan Braun’s tainted round all a approach into a stands.  

Knowing a Cubs usually had one out and a Brewers with a curtain on base, Rizzo also had a recognition to fast get a round behind to an infielder. That’s heads-up round right there. Coaches adore this stuff: 

Originally, umpires ruled no-catch since they didn’t consider that Rizzo was still in a margin of play when he done a grab. As Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts painfully schooled in July

You have to see that. Goes on tip of a tarp and into a stands for a tainted round yet umps contend no catch..that was awesome…umps huddling

After a brief conference, a umps found that Rizzo had one feet on a tarp (which is technically on a margin of play) and one feet on a wall when he cumulative a ball. Catch, confirmed! 

Let’s speak about this tarp though, since Rizzo dug his damn spikes into a thing to column himself adult into a improved position to make a play. (Poor tarp.) Aside from a apparent use during stormy weather, Rizzo’s locate was substantially a many unsentimental use of a round margin tarp MLB has ever seen. 

Depending on where they were sitting, fans along a initial baseline were both frightened and pumped during Rizzo’s actions. The lady sitting right next a 240-lb. Rizzo ducked for cover as he done his thrust into a crowd.

Her hand-over-heart whine of service says it all.
