A catcher usually can’t resist the opportunity to throw the runner out at second and trusts his arm. He also may peak to third and trust that they can get the ball back home before the runner makes it. The coach is exploiting the catcher’s belief in his own abilities.

Was one of skips favorite things to do.
Defense usually concedes that base. Throwing down is too risky.

That’s what most teams would have done but we were playing DVH
I liked the call. Sometimes stuff doesn’t work

It seems that if executed properly, the team on base has a high chance of scoring. Knowing that, why even make the throw to 2nd? Wouldn't it be better to concede 2nd instead of giving up a run?
You are correct. Either way it's a good call if executed properly.

He was trying to execute that EXACT play. Had he been trying to steal he would have been busting much harder and slid.
Except that Pearson never made a break for the plate, until AFTER Jake turned. He didnt break on the throw down to 2nd
In fact, he didnt even try to try to steal a few step in that direction

Pearson broke after the throw but he really didnt get a good jump off third at all.

You can’t leave until the ball is past the pitcher in that spot. Some teams will have the pitcher cut that throw off to get the guy out at home in that spot. It’s the one rule of that play

He didnt
I just rewatched it
He broke when he saw Jake got into a jam

I just rewatched it too and you are wrong.

Explain the shaky defense from Dickinson? He has been solid in the field, his bat is down, but still our best 2nd baseman. Only better second baseman is Milan and he is our best shortstop. CJJ has got it right.

You either get the free base if they don't throw, or score a run if they do and Brown doesn't slip. Either outcome is good for the offense, and a negative for the defense. 99% of the time you give up the out to get the run. Runner's job is to stay in a pickle long enough to get the run in.
Catcher made a hell of a throw, the groundskeeper's son made the right choice, and Brown slipped.

As the others are saying, Pearson blew the play
Posted on 6/19/25 at 9:06 am to FWBTigah
He had 3 balls in the first two games hit right to him he didnt field cleanly. Balls were bit hard enough for him to still recover but that isnt clean D. Last night speaks for itself defensively. Errors dont always show up in the scorebook. Aloys play is not technically an error.

The 2nd baseman already had the ball before Pearson took a step to the plate

I’m surprised they didn’t have a first and third play on there. Typically you have the SS come in front of second when Catcher throws to 2nd. That way you can make a quick throw home when the runner breaks from 3rd. Or you get the runner on 3rd hung up. Arky got lucky when Brown slipped.
