For years I've called it the Rick Sutcliffe play......baserunners on 1st and 3rd. Pitcher pitching from the stretch. Pitcher fakes a pickoff throw to 3rd and wheels around to fake a pickoff throw to 1st. This time the man on 1st was stealing and got caught in a rundown. The man on 3rd stayed put. It was cool. I was at our local minor league team's game, and it was the home team that pulled it off. How many of us over the years have seen the pitcher try it and have mumbled something like, Why does he do that? It never works.
Oh wow. I'd put that at about 1 in 1000, maybe 1 in 5000... I'd be less shocked by a triple play honestly. You gotta love this game
