VIDEO: Braves' Brian McCann Had Wild Inexplicable Missed Tag on Phillies' Maikel Franco
By Chris Pyo
Brian McCann's been a pretty reliable catcher throughout his 15-year career. The seven-time All Star has done more than enough to warrant a starting spot this year for the Atlanta Braves. However, his easy missed tag says otherwise. He completely missed Philadelphia Phillies Maikel Franco after a great throw home.

It looks as if he didn't know where the plate was and prematurely threw his glove down in a random spot. That must've been a nice breeze of the dugout.
Instead, his ghost tag allowed the division-rival Phillies to extend their lead by one run in a once-tight game with playoff implications.
