Justin Turner turns a game-changing double play in game 7 of the NLCS, a breakdown

changing play and it's such a

rarity and oddity and that's why

baseball is beautiful first ozzie walks

then he steals then dansby walks on a

real

close pitch but i think it did come

around the plate there

then austin riley's up fouls back the

fastball looks foolish on the changeup

the catcher will smith says yeah throw

that one again

that looked good he throws it again

riley makes the adjustment

punches that into center field runs

scores to give them the lead but it's

only a one run lead

riley pounds his chest let's go we'll

mix it up gonsolin not happy i don't

know why he was still in little baby

claps from austin riley

they take gonslin out they bring in

trinin

he's your good guy alright so you got

runners on first

and second o2 pitch throws one in the

dirt it gets

away from the catcher and now

that usually means that since first

place is open

that means the double play is off and

that's great for the braves two runners

in scoring position

the no double play anymore

so usually that's great this actually

leads into

a double play bizarrely enough what a

messed up sport the 2-2 pitch

it's a hot shot to turner he comes

straight home

dansby's hung up to dry we'll go into it

turner makes a fantastic play

and then another fantastic play and now

it's two outs

and instead of runners on second and

third

with one out they clear the bases

runner on first with two outs such a big

difference game changing play

jack peterson he's a big over the

railing guy gonslin likes it and riley

says can check it out can you check it

out

now we have this angle of it which is

fantastic and we'll go through it a

little slowly because

there's a lot going on so dansby's on

third and he kind of goes on contact

here

he he's already headed home before this

ball is going through turner a lot of

baseball players are saying

you got to see that ball through you got

to see that it gets

by turner before you can break for home

because the worst thing that happens if

you just kind of bounce around where

you're at

turner would grab it he'd look at dansby

dansby would head back to third

he'd throw it to first you'd have one

out you'd still have two in scoring

position

it's probably best case if this was the

base running was handled correctly but

dansby goes off on contact

not a good read or whatever you want to

call it

they have them hung up to try now riley

once he sees these guys going into a

rundown austin reilly should be booking

it to third

to guarantee that they have at least one

runner on third he's got to be careful

they can't get two easy outs

so he's watching dansby comes back at

this point

austin riley starts breaking for second

because they're so close to third base

he's probably thinking

hey they'll just tag him out and then

i'll be hung up to dry in the middle

here i got to get to safety

maybe he should have just broke to third

he should have been all the way to third

dansby should have made this last longer

and now you're gonna see where turner

dives and once austin riley sees turner

committing to the dive he's like okay

well now i'll go to

third base but turner makes that play

instantly gets up

and makes the play at third as well for

two outs

that camera angle shows everything it's

awesome but it didn't show you how

awesome this dive was from justin turner

look

where he makes contact i mean full out

outstretched parallel with the ground

superman dive

to get his calf crazy

and then to spin up well look at the hat

on his head

it's a fun freeze frame uh another angle

of it

the tongue is out which you gotta love

full-fledged dive

the tag the tag get some tongue is out

jesus and then i love how quick he

reacts here

watch his right knee how quick he swings

that knee

to plant it and throw just immediate

they had to be yelling on the field but

just immediate

and gets the ball over there for the

easy tag and riley riley tries like a

swim

move with his feet you see that with the

hand slot but

you know that first leg he shows it and

then he tries to like

pull that away and sneak in the left leg

and you can see that there's contact

there on the leg and the foot hasn't the

foot doesn't hit the bag until

there but the glove has hit the leg over

there other angles showed this clearly

he was out crazy play i mean just insane

play snitcher's like what the hell was

that

and then they get the easy out and then

the inning i mean it could have been one

out still got runners in scoring

position

instead they hold them at just one run

turner has an amazing play the tag the

turn around the throw

bad base running amazing defense bad

base running amazing defense both
