Did not look like he got all of that. I thought it was 300-foot pop fly.

Missed it. I'm trying to watch on the computer at work, judiciously window-shading the internet if I think the boss is looking over my shoulder.

For all the fuss of grichuk passing moss nobody mentioned that the first base coach plays a roll.

 Agree AP , the first base coach probably got caught up following the ball , leading to the confusion that apparently the umps didn't catch nor the Brewers . It was unusual in the fact that it was not quickly determined what happened in centerfield . Moss shoulhave been closer to second base . But as the trailing runner Grichuk should have been paying closer attention to the lead runner . I was always taught the burden in these situations was the trailer . I've never seen a play pan out exactly like this did . Moss got most of the blame but Grichukshould share in a great deal of responsibility . Anyway the Cards got away with one here.

I enjoyed working on the farm and bailing hay so i wont count them.  I picked peaches for several summers.  That sucked balls.  There is no breeze in a orchard no matter how windy it is.  Had to work in the rain and even if it wasnt raining the morning dew was basicly the same.  The worst part was probably the peach fuzz.  It irritated you badly.  Under your neck and arm joint was the worst.  Youd break out and itch all summer.  That was probably my worst job.  In college i worked at a factory full time making thousands of toilet brushes a day.  I sort of liked factory work. It was hot and boring, cold in the winter but nobody fucked with you. You showed up to work and went home.  No bullshit.

 
I would never have considered the occupational hazard aspect of peach fuzz.

Its no joke.  Promise

 
Not doubting you. The only place I've ever seen a peach is in a supermarket. They might grow underwater for all I know.
My first newspaper job was part-time, getting paid by the article, so I had to take a second day job at a small factory that made nautical products like bilge cleaner, teak oil and boat soap. We used to sell the stuff we made in 5-gallon jugs that my boss bought from Ocean Spray when they scaled back the operations at their cranberry juice plant in Massachusetts. In order to re-use the jugs, they had to be rinsed out with a mixture of water and ammonia, to kill the cranberry enzymes. That was my job. If you're exposed to ammonia for any length of time, it wreaks havoc on your mucus membranes. So for about three months - until I got hired full-time at the paper - snot ran constantly out of my nose. And I was single at time. Not really the best way to impress the ladies when you're out on a Saturday night.

Goold said it should have been ruled an rbi single and Grichuk ruled out....

The most famous instance was when Joe Adcock passed Hank Aaron at the end of Harvey Haddix's perfect game. But the only difference was the final score ended up being 2-0 instead of 3-0.

"3. Mostly the first base coach."

I'm willing to give Mueller a little slack here. He's only been the first base coach for about a week, and it was kind of sprung on him when Oquendo got hurt. You need a lot of experience before you're competent enough to yell "Back!" when the pitcher throws over and remind the runner to make sure the line drive gets through before he breaks for second.
