i'm more concerned with baker's lack of brains on that play That ball was going to need a hop or three to get to the catcher. Theriot was going to be safe by a good amount. I'm fine with Baker's decision. there was no decision. you don't lose anything by not cutting that off. maybe theriot falls on his face and has to crawl home. you don't cut it off, it's like folding when you're the big blind and nobody raises you. He keeps the runner from first from advancing into scoring position. Yeah, maybe Theriot falls down, but maybe the catcher also whiffs on fielding the ball and allows the runner to go to third. Things happen. Baker was mitigating the damage. gah, i forgot about melky cereal at first. my bad.
