Tuesday's 'Two Over-The-Top Weird Plays:'

'- Damian Easley hit a shot to the wall in right, where Joe Borchard went back, reached up and had the ball bounce off the web of his glove and into the first row.

'Easley gladly took his eighth homer of the season.

'"They all count the same," Easley said.

'- With the Marlins" Matt Trainor at second, Snyder missed catching strike three down the middle to Hanley Ramirez. The ball bounced away from him, so Trainor took third, with Snyder throwing late. Meanwhile, Ramirez, not realizing he"d taken strike three, didn"t run toward first.

'Vargas got the ball back from third baseman Andy Green before Ramirez broke for first. So Vargas threw him out.

'If you"re scoring, that"s a strikeout, 2-5-1-3.

'"One of the craziest plays I"ve ever seen," Green said.

'And somehow, Snyder wasn"t charged with a passed ball.' (EastValleyTribune.com)
