Yeah he slipped and then lunged at the ball trying to make the play, causing it to bounce 70 feet away and tie the game and put the winning run at 2nd.
If he doesn’t panic he keeps the ball in front of him and it’s 5-4 with runners at the corners.
So, yes, it absolutely was a panicked disaster. Stay in your lane.

Do you understand that if he doesn't slip he catches the ball?
When he slips he's going forward it's almost like you are losing your balance and wanting to fall down and thats what happened here so keeping the ball in front of you is not an option because you are falling to the ground. So yea not a panick disaster.
Stay in my lane? Kid go play with your Leggos

Theriot alludes to this when he says "you just want to make sure to get one out." I think Aloy panicked at the thought of trying to turn two and somehow throwing it away, with the runners moving up, thus making him the goat. So he took what he perceived as the low-risk out.
Right, it’s not that difficult to understand. Obviously, the players were tense and mistakes happened. Regardless of his skill level, something in him lacked the confidence to try for two, and he chose to minimize risk.

What I heard Theriot say is he was passive in approaching the ball and maybe he was but I don't think that was a factor at all in whether or not a DP could have been made, other than maybe in that guys own mind - but even that is pure speculation - you would have to ask him and he skipped the post game presser.
Players are taught to play out the scenarios in their heads on where to go and what to do when, etc. I don't think that ball hit as it was presented him with a reasonable scenario to throw to 3rd. I just think the pressure of the moment probably got to him.
Has the SS from Arky come out and say what he was thinking? On why he went to 3B to get the force out? By now someone has had to ask him that question right?

Milam was barely out of the box when Aloy fielded the ball. It wouldn’t have been close
It was a tailormade DP. Milam had a terrible first step after the hit and it was hit hard.
Aloy should've had the plan in his head and didn't and panicked.

I just think he thought they couldn't get Milam at 1st if he tried to turn the DP so he took the safe out at 3B. Just my opinion.

He slipped, got back to his feet and slipped again because, wait for it, he panicked.
The only thing he couldn’t do was let the ball get by him, but managed to make it worse by having it bounce off of him all the way into the corner.
I don’t care if he slipped, that’s actually part of what makes it such a disaster of a play.

Yes. Stick to wanting Jay fired and Jones benched. Let the adults have actual discussions.

Why is throwing to 3rd more conservative than him going to 2nd?
Is this a serious question? It keeps runners in the same position they started, with one less out needed. A missed throw to second is a run. Not to mention his fielding position and any other variables making it an easier throw for him.

Correct but he's falling down from slipping so he doesn't have that option now to keep it in front of him.

Yea i never said or would think that. Fire Jay? Yea never crossed my mind he's forgot more about baseball than you will ever know. All i wanted from Jones was to be dropped in the order which has happened. But nice try on your part.

irrelevant in this situation

so is a missed throw to 3rd

Not to mention his fielding position and any other variables making it an easier throw for him.

A missed throw to second is a run.

He easily could have kept it in front of him, he just panicked and made a bad situation much, much worse.
Hence the reason it was the worst play of the game.

Your idiocy is well documented on this site. Just FYI.

Not really. Some of these comments are ridiculously hard on the kid. It was clearly a big moment, so I’m cutting him some slack, particularly after watching some of his teammates that inning.

Going 3rd from this position is absolutely more difficult than going to 2nd
1. . More of a shoulder turn and feet set
2. Third baseman is further off bag. He is actually lucky the 3rd baseman even went to cover
It was just an unreal derp moment

I don't think it can be undersold how bad of a decision it was. It's one of the worst decisions I think I've ever seen on a college diamond when you consider the magnitude of the situation.

Yeah crazy how people are saying 3rd was an easier play.
It’s why lefties don’t play 2nd, SS, or 3rd
They’d have to turn their whole body to throw it to 1st
