I know he said that he got his feet caught up in mine and went down."Īsked how tricky those plays are with infielders shifting into the shallow outfield, Iassogna said: "Apparently it's very tricky." Iassogna said was running into the outfield, ready to make a call on any potential play, "and I never saw him.
We were both just doing our jobs and weird things happen sometimes." "I was watching the ball just like the umpire was and I was on the ground before I really realized what happened. "In the shift, sometimes you're in different places than people are used to sometimes," Hoerner said. Iassogna, the crew chief, stayed in the game.īoth men said the Cubs being in a shift led to the collision. Hoerner was running out to take the throw from Jason Heyward after Jurickson Profar hit a flyball over the center fielder's head for a triple. Hoerner was replaced in the bottom half of the inning by Ildemaro Vargas. He stayed in, batted in the second inning and struck out. Hoerner was on the ground in pain after the collision in the first inning and was tended to by a trainer.
