The point is that if even Gordon had been a 2-to-1 underdog to score, he should have tried.


you really think his odds were 2-1? Did you see how much he was laboring around 2nd?

I'd put it more at about 20-1.

This! At 2-1 it is a no-brainer. I think that if the 3rd base coach even thought there was a chance, that he would have sent Gordon. If it was Cain, he might have even sent him cause the pressure for a good throw would have been higher. With Gordon, chances are the catcher is standing with the ball waiting for Gordon and then there is a pickle situation.
