00:00Brewers turn chaotic double play. Deny Dodgers of Grand Slam.

00:04If you missed Game 1 of the NLCS, you missed absolute pure baseball bedlam.

00:11Did that really just happen? Yes, it did. And it was glorious.

00:16The Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers kicked off their 7-game NLCS battle Monday night in Milwaukee.

00:22And for 3 innings, it was your standard October chess match.

00:26Pitchers dealing, hitters grinding, no score, and tension building like a coiled spring.

00:31Then came the 4th inning, and that's where things just... broke loose.

00:36The Dodgers load the bases. Quinn Priester on the mound for Milwaukee.

00:40Max Muncy steps to the plate and crack. He launches one to dead center.

00:45Off the bat, you think. That's gone.

00:47That's a Grand Slam enter Sal Frelic, Milwaukee's defensive wizard in center field.

00:51He gets back to the wall, leaps, gloves the ball, but can't quite hang on.

00:57It bangs off the wall, still in play, and somehow drops right back into his glove.

01:03Because here's the thing. Once that ball hits the wall, it's live. No tag-up needed.

01:08It's every man for himself.

01:09And suddenly the Dodgers' base runners are scrambling like they just got tossed into a live-action escape room.

01:15Frelic fires the ball in.

01:16Joey Ortiz gets it.

01:18Teoscar Hernandez, the lead runner, gets hosed at the plate.

01:22Then Brewers catcher William Contreras, clearly the only one still reading the rulebook,

01:27spots Will Smith jogging back to second base like it's still 20-22.

01:32Contreras tags third base himself for out number three.

01:36An 8-6-2 double play on a ball hit 400 feet.

01:39Nope. He gets tagged with one of the weirdest groundouts in baseball history.

01:44A 400-foot groundout.

01:46And while Frelic looked just as baffled as everyone else,

01:50and honestly, who wouldn't be?

01:52Credit to the umpiring crew here.

01:54Left-field ump Chad Fairchild saw the ball hit the wall and immediately signaled it live.

01:59In a swirling hurricane of confusion, they got the call right.

02:03But this one felt like a fever dream.

02:05It's moments like these, unfiltered, unplanned, and unforgettable,

02:10that remind us why baseball still delivers the best theater in sports.

02:14You cannot script this stuff.
