Notes & reviews

probably part of the maneuvering due to pending rain
rain threatened game and both teams maneuvered because of it; $the rain never came
Groat strolled towards 2B trying to get thrown out $and move the game along
Mgr Bragan tried to stall by continuing to change pitchers; $these changes took 18 minutes
xDWS: $above three plays really all one, as detailed below. $Brock rounded 1B on the walk and tried to get put out at 2B $but Bolling intentionally dropped the ball; Brock kept $strolling towards 3B and was finally tagged out. xDWS: ruled CS
