Cubs Vs. Montreal

[ren0901]

...wow, I should get a proofreader as today's initial post wasn't clear...

...first, the runner was definitely hit by the batted ball after it bounced past Ramirez. Second, the ball looked like it touched the runner in fair territory (the camera angle was deceiving as it came from above and from the first base side). Unfotunately, I didn't see the play when it occurred and only saw the tail end of the replay...

...very strange that it happened twice in the series. What's even more interesting is that on the next pitch, the batter hit the ball in which Ramirez had to make a similar play, cutting across the 3rd baseline to field the ball in foul territory. It didn't hit the runner but he was in the vicinity of the play...

...just thought it would have been cool if Ramirez had clearly missed fielding the ball that bounced foul first then fair, hitting the runner standing on 3rd base. Would the umps had ruled similarly as in the first game (live ball) to be consistent, declare the ball dead but leave the runner on 3rd, or call the runner out for interference, dead ball, and place the batter on first?...
