Okay.

Chad Billingsley had a very deliberate windup, in which he also dipped his head and actually looked at the ground, reminiscent of Don Sutton. He went into his windup with a runner at third at an earlier time in the game, and Orlando timed it and decided right then that if he got to third and Billingsley faced the batter to go into this windup, he was going to pick his pocket. Orlando got to third with two outs and Vladi at the plate. He took his slow-walking lead and Billingsley never looked back, so Orlando took off. Halfway to home, Orlando screamed at Vladi in Spanish that he was coming and not to swing, and Vladi just backpedaled away from the plate with his arms upraised. Orlando went into his slide, and Billingsley was about to deliver, and just held onto it and stood there like the over-matched rookie that he was. Orlando popped up and ran to the dugout having stolen home before the pitcher could deliver the damned pitch.

When he ran down the steps, Mike Scioscia said, "Thank you!" Orlando turned and smiled and said, "Thank you? Why?" Scioscia said, "I've been in this game for almost 30 years and I have never seen that before."

So I don't blame you if you haven't seen it either.
