In a moment that will go down in postseason baseball history, Teoscar Hernández found himself at the center of a mind-boggling double play that left fans and commentators equally bewildered.

During the National League Championship Series opener, a seemingly routine play turned into a comedy of errors that could only happen in the unpredictable world of baseball. With the bases loaded and Max Muncy at bat, Milwaukee’s center fielder Sal Frelick attempted a spectacular catch that went hilariously wrong.

The Play That Broke Twitter

Frelick’s glove momentarily touched the ball, which then bounced off the wall, a split-second that would determine the fate of the game. Runners initially retreated, thinking it was a clean catch, but Hernández’s hesitation proved costly. Instead of immediately racing home, he froze, allowing the Brewers to execute an 8-6-2 double play that hadn’t been seen in postseason baseball for 35 years.

The Aftermath

Hernández didn’t shy away from accountability, candidly admitting, “Nobody to blame but myself”. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts diplomatically described it as a “brain fart”, a technical baseball term, obviously.

A Moment of Baseball Chaos

The play was so unusual that it immediately went viral, with baseball fans dissecting every millisecond of the bizarre sequence. Muncy was credited with a ground-out double play on a 404-foot drive that never actually touched the ground, because baseball statistics are nothing if not delightfully complex.

In the end, the Dodgers won 2-1, proving that sometimes, chaos can work in your favor, a lesson Hernández will likely remember for seasons to come.
