The National League Championship Series kicked off Monday night with a dramatic win for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but social media went into a frenzy during the game after the Milwaukee Brewers pulled off one of the most unprecedented plays in MLB history.

The ball hitting the fence made the play live, which caused chaos on the base paths. Frelick fired a throw in to shortstop Joey Ortiz who relayed the ball home for a force out as the L.A. runners retreated back to their original bases because they weren't sure whether it was a catch or not.

Well, make it seven-maybe-eight now. Mike Shildt announced yesterday that he is retiring from managing the Padres. The 57-year-old had been under contract through 2027, but as part of the above-linked story, he told The Athletic this, via text:

On the play in question, Hernández was thrown at out the plate after Frelick gathered the ball and rifled it to the cutoff man, Joey Ortiz. Hernández should have left third base the moment the ball hit Frelick's glove, but he remained on the base for far too long, enabling the defense to throw him out at home.
