Each week, we will highlight players on so-called underdog teams -- players who
will turn college football upside down by helping to pull off upsets.

. The injury bothered Bledsoe in the Suns victory over the Clippers on Monday
and he sat out the teams home loss to Memphis on Thursday night. CLEVELAND --
Addison Russell lofted a fly ball in the first inning, and right fielder Lonnie
Chisenhall converged with center fielder Tyler Naquin.Probably an easy play in a
half-filled ballpark on a hot summer night, the 284-foot fly turned into a
disorienting disaster for the Cleveland Indians?on Tuesday night during Game 6
of the World Series.With a loud, raucous crowd packing Progressive Field in
hopes of witnessing Clevelands first World Series title since 1948, the ball
hung in the air for 5 seconds. Chisenhall pulled up and looked at the onrushing
Naquin, who was a few feet behind him.A 25-year-old rookie who made his debut on
opening day, Naquin had no chance by then to make the catch. The ball bounced
past him for a two-run double, as Anthony Rizzo scored and then Ben
Zobrist?--?who bowled over Indians catcher Roberto Perez.The Chicago Cubs?had
built a three-run lead before Jake Arrieta threw his first pitch.It counts as a
hit, which I was totally stoked, Russell said. I thought that was going to be
kind of a routine play.Far from it.Cleveland never recovered, and Chicago
coasted to a 9-3 win that forced the World Series to a deciding Game 7.Kind of
one of those deals you wish you could take back, Naquin said. Me being the
center fielder, I need to take charge on that.Even after the game, the sequence
of what happened was unclear. Naquin said both players called for the ball.
Chisenhall said neither did.Baseball practice dictates that corner outfielders
defer to their teammate in center.Its Naquins ball. He was playing on that side,
and hes the center fielder, Indians manager Terry Francona said. I think at the
end there, as Lonnie was kind of pulling off, Naquin was yelling, Its yours. You
got it.Chisenhall, a 28-year-old converted third baseman in his sixth big league
season, appeared to follow protocol.Still, he shouldered the blame.I should have
caught that ball. I made the aggressive move on it, Chisenhall said. The balls
moving towards me, and somebodys got to catch it. It should have been me.He said
he saw me moving towards the ball, and I should have continued my route, and I
kind of felt him coming, so I pulled up. But I should have kept going.By the
third inning, Chisenhall did take charge and cut in front of Naquin to catch
Kris Bryants fly with a runner on as the center fielder slid behind him.

Youve got to catch the ball. You cant let another one drop, so you risk making a
collision, Chisenhall said. We talked about it. We were both avid about not
letting the ball hit the grass.Chisenhall and Naquin had a long discussion
during a pitching change later in the inning, joined by left fielder Coco Crisp.
Naquin said he suggested they use their arms as flippers to signal each
other.Three pitches later, Russell hit a grand slam off Dan Otero for a
seven-run Cubs lead.Naquin, the 15th overall pick in the 2012 amateur draft, hit
.296 with 14 home runs and 43 RBIs during the regular season but is 4-for-25
(.160) with two RBIs in the postseason, including a strikeout that left the
bases loaded in the fourth on Tuesday night.In the crucible of the World Series,
defense can go awry.Last year, the Royals?Alcides Escobar drove the first pitch
of the World Series to the left-center warning track, where Mets center fielder
Yoenis Cespedes and left fielder Michael Conforto came together. The ball
ricocheted off one of Cespedes feet and rolled along the fence, as Escobar sped
around the bases for the second inside-the-park homer to lead off a World Series
game.A year earlier, San Francisco center fielder Gregor Blanco allowed Kansas
City batter?Alex Gordons two-out single to bounce past him for an error that put
the potential tying run at third base with two outs in the ninth inning; some
questioned whether Royals third-base coach Mike Jirschele should have waved
Gordon home. Madison Bumgarner then retired Salvador Perez on a foul out, saving
the Giants 3-2 win in Game 7.And with Game 7 in 1968 scoreless in the seventh
inning, Detroits Jim Northrup hit a two-on, two-out drive that was misjudged by
St. Louis center fielder Curt Flood and fell behind him for a two-run triple.
The Tigers held on for a 4-1 victory behind Mickey Lolich, the last pitcher to
win three starts in a single World Series.Cleveland ace Corey Kluber will try to
match that feat in Game 7 on Wednesday night.Weve just got to win the game
tomorrow, Chisenhall said. I think we leave winners, people will remember that.
