Overbay's quote from last night -- "I was just trying to speed the game up" -- is beyond funny. And this happening in back-to-back years (Troy Tulowitzki in 2007) is beyond absurd.

Asdrubal Cabrera Flips the Unassisted Triple-Up

The unassisted triple play has only happened 14 times in the history of baseball (after last night), so whenever it does, people always praise its beauty, etc. But there are a lot of lucky circumstances that have to happen for someone to pull it off. Like the batter hitting a line drive with runners on first and second and the hit and run on. Which is what happened with Lyle Overbay at bat last night in the Toronto - Cleveland game. Here's the result, courtesy of Asdrubal Cabrera.
Overbay's quote from last night -- "I was just trying to speed the game up" -- is beyond funny. And this happening in back-to-back years (Troy Tulowitzki in 2007) is beyond absurd.

1. The Indians' announcers really were on top of this. Notice how quickly the color guy yells "Triple play!" after the ball has been hit. Well done.
