When he saw it coming his way he should have dove back to 3rd immediately and forced a throw to 1st.


I can agree with this. But I don't think it was a real option from Morgan's point of view. Sure, he may have been safe, but there's a very good chance the third baseman tags him as he's diving for the bag. I believe this is the reason Morgan hesitated.... he wanted to get back to third for a split second.

And I say that after just going back and rewatching it about a dozen times. From Morgan's point of view that was a real risk to dive back to third.

It was just a very unfortunate place to have the ball hit, and a major league play on their part.

I can promise you a ball hit to the 3rd basemen was the last thing Morgan was expecting. I’d bet it wasn’t even discussed with him by the 3B coach.

I can count on one hand the number of time Beloso has hit the ball to the left side of the shortstop this entire season, and still have fingers to spare.

They were probably much more concerned with the shot straight to the 1B.
