re: Trying for 2nd was dumb

We never had another base runner...the ball was played in front of the center fielder and the play was at second...closest bag to the fielder. It was a good slide, but a poor decision. No reason to go there. I'm ok with an aggressive read and round of first, but he should have stayed. That's evident by how much the ball beat him by. Honestly, that was enough for the umpire to punch him out in afraid.
