That's where the defensive alignment failed. You bring in the extra IFer so you don't need to pull Casey away from 3rd. They got exactly what they wanted. A sharp ground ball to first but since Werth wasn't being held close to the bag there was no chance at making the play at home.
That's not a very hard throw for an OFer to make especially one with an arm like that. I would expect OFers in the MLB to be able to throw the ball on the money to 2nd. That's part of having high baseball IQ. Know which guys you can and can't test. Know who is and who isn't on deck for you.
haha, I said the same thing to my gf about that comment. Then BA follows that up with the comment.. big pitch here, the pitcher doesn't want to work the count to full, when the count was 3-1 on Almonte.
