6/5 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Astros (Buchholz) 7:05 on CSN

Can someone PLEASE describe Walker's baserunning play last inning that was so great?

Walker on first, ball sharply grounded to Biggio at 2B, Walker was running to second, then stopped while Biggio held it, and had to throw to first to get out the hitter, then Walker ran to second and was easily safe.

 

Why didn't Biggio go to second first, if Aram was running?

 

He was far away from second. If I remember correctly, no one was covering second (the SS?).... was supposed to.

Too far off the bag towards first. Walker was running and literally came to a dead stop before running after Biggio threw it.

It's hard to explain. Hope for a highlight on local news or BBTN/Spotscenter/ESPNEWS tonight...

 

You have to see a highlight. But basically.....

 

Walker on 1st......grounder to second a little to the right of the second base bag.....so the infielder could not tag second base without risking the double play....so he run a step toward Walker coming to second thinking he'll tag him and make the throw to first for the double play. Walker then realizes stops dead in his tracks in the middle of first to second disrupting the double play.

 

The infielder froze and was completely stumped and threw to first for the one out allowing Walker to go to second. He should have just Walked Walker back to firsst base and tagged him so he guaranteed getting the lead runner out.

 

 

Phew that was long.
