Castas makes it seem like every fly ball is headed out. He is horrible. A graph was shown prior to the beginning of the game which showed wind direction from around the ballpark, and how it would affect fly ball distance. Easy to misjudge distance off the bat. Don't know if Costas did so or not. But, it's a whole lot easier to judge the distance if someone is watching the Outfielder and not the flyball. |

Many moons ago my Dad taught me to watch the outfielder when flyball is hit to the outfield. For me, it's the easiest and most accurate way to tell if a ball is going to be a HR or not.
Sure...but you do have a lot of times the OF is moving back to the wall, especially RF in Yankee Stadium, when it's not sure. BTW...did you see Profar's catch on Betts ball? Awesome... |

Yes, I did see the Profar's catch.

Winker just hit a ball that Pierzynski absolutely felt was gone off the bat. Castellanos made a very nice catch at the wall... |

The Dodgers should have signed Jeffrey Maier for the playoffs !!! Wouldn't have helped. Short wall, Profar reached in about 3 rows to make the catch. |

Profar almost did it again to Betts. He just missed it this time but it was so close that Betts was jogging off the field because he thought he was out. |

Does Boone make any lineup changes for game three? I could see Cabrera in at 1b although he and Berti have very similar production against RHP. Berti has the better average and OCAB has a slightly better OPS. Not sure who the better defender is, OCAB has more experience but Berti didn't look out of place. Pretty sure he keeps Verdugo in LF and the rest of the lineup probably stays the same.
