Not that it mattered to the game, but was Angel Pagan ever out on that line drive double play the unfortunate Gregor Blanco hit into?
The shortstop made a nice leaping catch of the liner, stepped on second base, and everyone seem to assume Pagan was out.
Did Pagan ever get tagged on the play?
As for Blanco, he is the kind of hitter who would be described as a gap-to-gap hitter (middle of the field), but he was hitting with almost no luck up the middle and toward center field this series. Even on the play described above, had Pagan not been running on the play, the shortstop would have been in his normal position and the ball would have been a clean single up the middle.
