TBS broadcaster Brian Anderson asked analyst and former Phillie Jeff Francoeur about the challenges both teams faced heading into Game 4. Francoeur said one of the toughest challenges for both teams was something out of their control: the shadows.
“In about another 20 minutes you’re going to see those shadows by the L.A. sign start to creep into the batter’s box and that’s where it’s going to get tricky,” Francoeur said.
The shadows really started to become a problem in the third inning as they crept across the infield, covering the batter’s box on the left and right side of the plate.
“Shadows are creeping,” Anderson said. “That’s going to be the story for the next couple of hours here as these hitters try to adjust.”
