Baseball is a goofy sport. Most team sports have this thing called a game clock. That clock lets you know when your lead should be secured. Let’s say you’re a football team with a 21 point lead with a minute to go. If this isn’t a Big 12 game, you’re probably safe. But baseball doesn’t work that way.
The beauty, and sometimes agony, of the game is that as long as one out remains, the game is still able to be won or lost by either side. That’s my explanation for what happened in the 9th inning of Sunday’s game.
