Sounds like the announcer stopped, without finishing his sentence to me. The last word was indistinct to me and could have possibly been 'play'.
It seemed to be commentary on the ball being fouled, then he stopped speaking as the video showed the 2 fans scrambling for the ball.
Here are some possibilities of meaning, 'There was certainly no place...(for the ball to be caught)' or maybe, 'there was certainly no play...(that could be made)'. (Words in parenthesis are my guesses at where the announcer was going with his commentary)
Hope that helps and isn't more confusing!

The announcer said " ... no play". That means the outfielder (Garcia) had no chance to catch the ball.

The announcer clearly said play, not place. Play ends with a long "a" sound. Place ends with a "s" sound. If you listen carefully at 0:13, there is no "s" sound.
