Because in no world passed 8u is that ball coming to him unless a guy goes full brain dead Lucky for Mr. Brain dead the 3rd baseman covered. You could tell he was shocked to receive the ball
But he absolutely should have been covering his bag, right?

Yep. Milam was barely out of the box when Aloy fielded the ball. It wouldn’t have been close

he took off hard out of the box and slowed up once he realized Aloy fricked up. He was never in serious danger of getting doubled up by the 3B.
What I’m pointing out is the third baseman assumed the runner at second would have taken off for third if he threw it but that was 2 outs. Milam was barely 1/2 down the line when the third baseman caught the ball and never looked at first.

He was surprised to get the ball and had to make sure he got his foot down on the bag.
You can tell he never expected that ball to come to him.

Smart baseball, with quick thinking brains AND muscle memory make the difference. Theriot is the fricking man, so well explained.

Love Theriot. Epitome of hard-nosed Louisiana scrapper.
His explanation makes sense, but who knows what the SS was thinking?
Either way, good for us!

When Aloy releases the ball, Frey is over 20 feet from 2nd base and Monster is 70 feet from first. Tailor-made DP grounder. Bonehead move to throw to 3B to get meaningless runner. And Aloy knows it, that’s why he didn’t speak to media after the game.

Exactly, the one thing I think almost everyone agrees to is it was a bad decision. We're splitting hairs on details but most agree on that main premise.
What we don't know is what the kid was thinking and why he made the play he did - and we won't know until he tells us.
Theriot played the position at that level and can give some insights in that regard but he's not a mind reader, he's got to speculate on some things just like the rest of us.

The throw to second certainly is routine because they do it all the time. But it definitely causes a rush due to the DP component. Which certainly adds more risk vs the play he chose to make.
I agree the DP is riskier because it involves 2 throws, but the REWARD would have been great. That was a tailor-made DP grounder. It’s a simple Risk-Reward decision. At that level of baseball in that situation in that important game after cleanly fielding the ball, he should have tossed to 2B (2nd baseman was standing on the bag when Aloy released the ball and 1st baseman was almost on 1B). I have never seen an infielder make a more costly bonehead mistake all things considered. No excuses. Anyone arguing otherwise should turn in their baseball card (IMO). There is not one Arkansas fan on SEC Rant defending Aloy’s decision.

Folks who watch a lot of baseball, I can tell you they were almost all taken aback by that decision. It's just something you see so rarely it evokes this kind of scrutiny and discussion.

. I see it. Oh well on the coastal. That game is long in the books.
