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.


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.

I believe this as well. And for the reasons you stated. Aggressiveness will be inversely proportional to the risk. And I think being aggressive in that situation was the right call. It just happened to bite us. There's always some risk.
