Phillies’ Edmundo Sosa did an extraordinary midair split to stop JJ Bleday from stealing second

Edmundo Sosa can really leap!

Edmundo Sosa went above and beyond to make this crucial defensive play for the Philadelphia Phillies.

On Wednesday, with the Phillies hosting the Miami Marlins in a key NL East matchup for Philadelphia, the home team was holding a 3-2 lead in the seventh. After Andrew Bellatti struck out Miguel Rojas for the first out, catcher J.T. Realmuto threw to Sosa at second as JJ Bleday was making for the steal.

In one of the most impressively athletic plays you’ll see on a tag out, Sosa tagged Bleday while doing midair splits to avoid being run over. Not only that, Sosa stuck the landing after applying the stunning tag!

Bleday was already going to be out due to abandoning the base path on a very strange stealing route, but wow, what a play by Sosa! Talk about securing the second out of the inning in style.

Edmundo Sosa se saltó la tercera base y les pudo haber dado el triunfo a los Cardinals vs los Cubs

Siempre que se juntan los Cardinals y los Cubs, sabemos que va a pasar algo ridículo . En una rivalidad como esta, se llega a los extremos del espectro. Una noche, alguien puede dar múltiples homeruns. La otra, alguien puede cometer un craso error …

Siempre que se juntan los Cardinals y los Cubs, sabemos que va a pasar algo ridículo.

En una rivalidad como esta, se llega a los extremos del espectro. Una noche, alguien puede dar múltiples homeruns. La otra, alguien puede cometer un craso error al correr las bases en el peor lugar posible en el peor momento posible.

Eso es precisamente lo que le pasó a Edmundo Sosa cuando los Cards (favoritos por -145 ) se enfrentaron a los Cubs el sábado por la noche. En un apretado juego 3-3 en Wrigley Field, un hit en la novena entrada debió haber impulsado a Sosa a cruzar home. Debió haber puesto a los Cubs contra la pared.

Sólo hubo un problema: Sosa no tocó la tercera base en su recorrido hacia home. Oh, no:

Traducción.- WOW! Edmundo Sosa hubiera anotado para darles la ventaja a los Cardinals en la 9a, ¡¡¡Pero se saltó la tercera base!!!

 

La cara de exasperación e incredulidad de Sosa lo dice todo. Gracias al short stop, los Cardenales terminaron ganado 7-4 en extra-innings. En vez de rumiar un error doloroso que les pudo haber perdido el juego, Sosa y los Cards se pueden reír por un rato.

Edmundo Sosa missed third base in base-running blooper that almost cost Cardinals dearly vs. Cubs

Fun fact: You’re supposed to touch the bases when rounding home!

Whenever the Cardinals and Cubs get together, you know something ridiculous will happen.

In a rivalry like this, you get every end of the spectrum. One night, someone could mash multiple homers. Another, someone might have an egregious base-running error in the worst possible spot at the worst possible time.

That’s precisely what happened to Edmundo Sosa as the Cards (-145 favorites) took on the Cubs on Saturday night. In a tight 3-3 ballgame at Wrigley Field, a ninth-inning hit by Nolan Gorman should’ve sent Sosa across home plate. It should’ve put the Cubs up against the wall.

There was just one problem: Sosa didn’t touch third base as he initially rounded toward home. Oh, no:

Sosa’s look of exasperation and disbelief says it all. Thankfully for the shortstop, the Cardinals went on to win 7-4 in extras. Instead of dwelling on a game-losing, painful gaffe for a little while, Sosa and the Cards get to laugh about it.

Cardinals’ Edmundo Sosa accidentally beaned umpire in the face with spinning throw to first

Ouch…

Edmundo Sosa’s going to owe first-base umpire Junior Valentine a beer after this one.

During Monday’s baseball game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Mets, play was halted after Sosa accidentally drilled Valentine in the head with a throw to first. On a hard-hit ball down the middle, Sosa gloved the ball and made a spin-o-rama play in an effort to get the ball to first for the out.

Unfortunately, Sosa’s aim was a little off on this play, and instead of getting the ball to first, he beaned Valentine square in the side of the head, dropping him instantly.

Obvious warning on the videos below for a bit of blood and a whole lot of… pain.

Thankfully, Valentine was okay — and he stayed in the game, miraculously!!! — as they were able to stop the bleeding and he was able to continue on with his duties.

Valentine’s face, however, definitely took a beating from the entire incident.

The injury aside, I think my favorite part of this, personally, is Sosa’s face after his throw knocked Valentine over.

Yep, that is the face of someone who knows they screwed up. Thankfully, Valentine is okay, and hopefully there’s no lingering concussion symptoms or anything, because this could have been a lot worse.
