I think he forgot the score and situation maybe that there was even a runner on 1st

Of course that run matters

It could have ended the game, but several times in that game the double play was not converted, so I don’t know why everyone is treating it as a given.
It’s not as egregious as people make it out to be. It’s just because of the timing that makes it dumb. If Braswell went home with the ball instead of trying to turn 2, they don’t score any runs in the 8th. Might not have been the right play, but would’ve turned out better than what ended up happening.

Well in some situations that is the correct play, like with 2 outs.
I've been wondering if maybe he thought there was 2 outs.
I don’t know where some of y’all come up with this stuff.
The correct play with 2 outs and runners on is to 1st, unless you’re an easy toss to 2nd base from SS or 2nd with the runner in front of you. He should have thrown it to 1st even if he thought there were 2 outs. It’s much easier to throw the batter out at 1st than it is to throw runners who had a head start out at another bag.
On this play for example, he throws the ball to 3rd from 50 feet away after Curiel is already past him. And Curiel is sliding into the bag by the time the ball is caught. If he threw it to 1st he would have beaten Milam by 45 feet.

Demons invaded aloys brain. When you open your mind to the occult you become susceptible to all kinds of trickery. He was likely playing with a ouiji board in his hotel room.

If Braswell went home with the ball instead of trying to turn 2, they don’t score any runs in the 8th. Might not have been the right play, but would’ve turned out better than what ended up happening.
Davalan, or whoever was on 3rd, touched home at the same time that Dickinson got the ball at second, which was a much shorter throw. People need to give that one up.

Braswells was slower hit, big difference

It also compounded the situation. Once everyone realized his mistake, Arkansas played even tighter and LSU was like “ ha, you dumbasses, we gonna win now”.
You know all of us at home thought the same thing. We all thought that this was going to come back to bite them.

This was a very very easy DP, and it wasn’t even attempted. That’s why it’s being talked about
I get that, but it’s with the benefit of knowing the outcome. It was far from the worst fielding play in the game, and I think people are holding him to a different standard because of his skill level.

Great take by Ryan, I get tired of you couch players give your bad analysis.

Can't agree with theriot at all. There was zero reason to charge that ball. It was as taylor made dp even fielding it flat footed.

It was by far the worst fielding decision of the entire game. Not even close
Would have been the worse fielding decision even if it happened in the second inning

I’d argue that we could not have won the game without scoring the fourth run.

Yeah it’s like Theriot is trying to apply good technique to a situation where it doesn’t apply. He was already playing in some and he fielded a hard hit ball closer to the base line than the SS typically does on a DP ball. If he charges any he’s got Curiel to deal with. SS didn’t do anything wrong until he turned and threw to 3rd.
