Reverse Force GDP

The Phillies just executed an unusual double play. There are two types of ground double plays; the traditional when players are forced at two bases, and a reverse force, which usually happens when the first baseman steps on first, then throws to second for a tag play. The Padres had men on first and second when Kouzmanoff ground to Feliz. Cabrera was running from second, but stopped to avoid the tag. Feliz threw to Utley for the force at second, and when Cabrera fell down, Utley threw back to Feliz for the tag. I guess that’s a double reverse force double play!
