Plays include significant plays, if such plays occur.
Martin sells his trap for an out.

    On Dreckman's play. he ruled "catch", not trapped. The description for the video link has it wrong.

    I have the Jennings call as inconclusive, based on that angle. The tag on the chest wasn't in time, but perhaps Jennings got tagged on the arm. You just can't tell from that angle.
