Dodgers left fielder Chris Taylor had to leave Sunday’s game against the Giants in the eighth inning after he collided face first against the wall attempting to make the catch.
But Dodgers manager Dave Roberts sure had an odd response to the play: He decided to completely waste his challenge.
With two outs in the inning, Mike Yastrzemski drove a fly ball to deep left field. Taylor had to track the ball towards the warning track while battling the sun, and it ended with the ball deflecting off his glove. As he tried to make another attempt at the ball, Taylor’s momentum drove him right into the wall. It was clear he didn’t make the catch. He didn’t even come close.
