Three players from the top five of the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings remained in action on Saturday night. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Blue Jays ranks third after a one for three with a double and a walk, keeping his BA above .400 and his OBP over .500 for the post season. His teammate, George Springer, playing hurt, went two for four to take fourth place. in the 3-1 Dodgers win, forcing game seven.

Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers ranks fifth, also hitting a double and drawing a walk.

The best game score of the night came off the bat of Addison Barger of the Blue Jays, a 59. He collected two doubles and scored the Blue Jays lone run. His second double led to a bit of controversy as it lodged under the padding on the outfield wall:

Yet from the Blue Jays dugout, where the veteran Isiah Kiner-Falefa was watching, he didn’t think the ball properly lodged in the wall..

“It wasn’t lodged in the wall,” said Kiner-Falefa. “I saw it. He got lucky they called it his way. You think of a tennis being stuck in a fence. It doesn’t move. It just sits there. That’s not what happened here. That ball was moving.

“Really, he got the call. But I don’t know if he deserved it.”

The ball didn’t look like it was moving to me, but I’m also not sure it wasn’t playable. It’s like a ball disappearing in the ivy at Wrigley Field. Most of the ball was visible. I suspect someone with the strength of an MLB outfielder could have easily pulled it out from under the padding. The Dodgers did the right thing, however, and got the call.
