Just not sure why you bring the IF in there. I mean I know you're looking to cut the run down at home, but it's a force situation. You shouldn't need to pull the IF in to get a force at home.
If they're at standard depth, it's a double play ball.
Ugh - and now that happens.
This is how a season gets away from ya. Doesn't take an implosion - just one guy loses his feel and then your defense is lined up a bit funky and now a really well played game means precisely dick in a best of 3 setup.

But once the IF got pulled, that play became exponentially harder.
Maybe I didn't see it right when I watched the replay, but if I did I have a hard time stomaching that one. Infield in just doesn't seem like the way to have played that situation.
And now gold glovers are kicking routine hoppers. Cooooool. [Reply]
