Brian Anderson Reflects on Calling Unprecedented, Perplexing Brewers Double Play

TNT play-by-play announcer Brian Anderson described the Milwaukee Brewers' remarkable double play against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a recent NLCS game as "madness" and "unprecedented," a play he had never witnessed in his 32-year, 5,000-game career. The officially scored 8-6-2 double play involved Sal Frelick corralling Max Muncy's deep fly off the center-field wall, relaying to Joey Ortiz, then William Contreras for a force-out of Teoscar Hernández at home, followed by Contreras securing a second out at third on Will Smith. Anderson admitted the chaos made it difficult to track, missing an umpire's call, and wished for "a couple sets of eyes" to process the bewildering sequence that left Dodgers baserunners, official scorers, and viewers equally confused.
