It's only stupid if you're playing against a stupid team with a stupid coach. Every WF infielder had it in his mind to turn two or get the sure out at first rather than throw home and take unnecessary risk.

And the includes the third baseman. It was just unfortunate for us that a left handed hit a laser down the third base line that was caught in such a way that the 3B only option was to throw it home and take his chances.

And they made a major league play. Tip your hat to them, and curse the baseball gods for allowing a lefty to hit a ball hard to that precise location.

And the same ump who chased Floyd ruling against us when on replay he PROBABLY got it wrong but there wasn’t indisputable evidence.

Just about every comment on this thread is partially right. But here’s the bottom line.

It came down to one play. We sent Tre home from 3b with nobody out and runners on third and first on an infield hit. If you run the bases right- that’s bases loaded, no outs. They made the play, then got a double play and made us pay for it.

No reason to do that when you’re on 3b. You stay close to the bag and if it gets through- you score! Period!

That Tre did what was coached, didn’t slide correctly, etc is all true. No outs - not the right base running call.
