Everyone keeps saying what a fantastic finish that was. Huh??? Like Shakespeare, I see it as nothing more than a comedy of errors. Talk about NOT making the big play when it counts. The outfielder completely half-assed the play, not approaching the ball correctly or strongly enough, and took his eye off of it. The throw was weak, off-line, and then the relay was mishandled by the catcher as he tried to quickly tag a non-existent runner. The runner loses his footing and does a complete header, and would've been pegged out going back to third if the catcher caught the ball. Tampa wins and starts parading around the field and celebrating? Congratulations, you made one less stupid move than the Dodgers did during the play and you won. Golf clap.
(To be clear, there's no rancor here. I don't care who wins. It is what it is, but my God!!! They looked like a bunch grade school kids playing Wiffle ball!!!)

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
