Who's out of order? The whole lineup is out of order!
2008-05-11 15:41
The Cincinnati Reds batted out of order in the ninth inning of their 8-3 loss to the Mets. David Ross led off the inning, but Corey Patterson should have been the proper hitter. Ross lined out and Mets manager Willie Randolph came out of the dugout to notify the umpires that Patterson should have batted. So, under the rules, Patterson was charged with an out and now the proper batter, Ross, came up to bat. And Ross got a single. Why Randolph was so concerned about who was batting when he was just two outs away from a win and Corey Patterson was going to bat is a question best left unanswered. From the AP story:
Excuse me, Mr. Baker, may I direct your attention to the events of April 16, 2004. Please note the play-by-play of the 7th inning. The game Baker remembered took place on May 4, 1980.
