7:21
There's a line drive to center by Gomez. And on comes Ligaris. And he makes the catch on the second effort
7:27
What a play. I'm not sure I've ever seen the likes of this before
7:34
Trying to make the shoestring catch and then stumbling forward to grab it
7:38
An incredible play by Ligaris. We'll see plenty of this in the next 24 hours
7:43
Just shovels it forward, stays with it. And that ball was dipping off the bat of the pitcher, Gomez
7:51
and still able to come up with that play. Outstanding. 2-2 pitch again

8:39
That's a fly ball to left field playable for Johnny Gomes out there
8:43
It's Twilight. He doesn't see it, but it'll be caught by Holt in center
8:47
Wow. My goodness. That ended up nowhere near the left fielder Johnny Gomes
8:52
He looked up, couldn't find it. And it's Holt, the legend of Brock Holt, who makes that catch
8:58
Well, you know, I'm watching Johnny Gomes, and I'm saying he's got no idea where the baseball is
9:02
and I was not watching Brock Holt. No, I wasn't. And he was tracking it the whole time
9:07
About that play. Echevarria
9:18
Wow! Now that was some hops. And listen to the ovation here from the Philly fans
9:28
Well, they appreciate a tremendous play And they just saw one they saw a spectacular play. It's one thing to leap
9:37
But a lot of times you see a guy leap and come down on his feet He's not able to do that because he gets up in the air so high watch this
9:47
Wow My goodness
10:02
Alcides Escobar makes the catch and that is an outstanding play The shift was on hut he had to come a mile and a half
10:18
another foul ball Donaldson may have a play here by the top and he goes
10:33
He fell between the tarp and the padded sidewall and he held up to it
10:42
Now, Baker was going to tag, but you can't just appreciate the great effort by Josh Donaldson
10:48
Up over and in between. Fans were holding their hands up and there goes Phil Cozzi, the third base on fire, following
10:56
What a tremendous play. And especially to hold the glove up to show
11:00
that's the amazing part as it goes in the glove stays up to let everybody know he caught it
11:12
popped him up shallow center campana Dede Gregorius wait for it he's out
11:22
how did he catch that leaping and he holds on to it. What a catch by Alomar. Acrobatics at their best and that retires
12:00
the Tigers. At the end of a half inning the game is scored. Catch that Alomar made we were talking
12:06
about it while we were away we think that's one of the finest catches a catcher has ever made
12:11
I don't think I've ever seen it. Just an unbelievable catch going full speed hangs onto the ball and then it took a minute or two because it was the shin guards or
12:18
something got two to pitch Nicole flips it foul extra best coming over
