Edman’s mistake turned the tables…
LA Dodgers’ Tommy Edman, who is familiar to Korean fans as he also played for the Korean national team, made a mistake in the World Series.
Edman started at 6-2 base in Game 3 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 28th (Korea time).
Edman made a big mistake on defense in the top of the fourth inning when his team was leading 2-0. Leading Vladimir Guerrero Jr. walked against Tyler Glasnow, the Dodgers’ starter, who was pitching well.
The next batter is No. 4 Bobissette, who had his first at-bat hit. However, Glasnow induced Bissett to ground out to second base. a double play course. It was a situation where cold water would be poured on the flow of Toronto. In fact, Toronto was shaken by Bissett’s fatal bonehead play checker in the second inning.
Edman followed the ball that fell between the first and second bases. I had to grab the ball and turn around and throw it to second base. However, he was in a hurry and spilled the ball while looking at the second base first. The glove should have gone further down the floor, but it was floating and the ball flowed underneath it. A 4-6-3 double play flowed into the outfield, leading to a crisis with no outs and runners on first and third bases.

Glasnow took a breather by catching Dalton Basho on an outfield fly, but was hit by the next batter, Alejandro Kirk, for an upset three-run home run. The first pitch curve rushed to the center and made a real pitch, and Kirk did not miss it.
Edman’s error turned into a butterfly effect and hit a fatal home run, where the shaken Glasnow even allowed Andres Jimenez a sacrifice fly RBI. Local broadcast footage continued to capture Edman with a camera in the top of the fourth inning.
Edman has mainly played center field this season, but he is playing at second base because he believes his outfield defense is difficult due to a recent ankle injury.
