So regarding the amazing Javy base running play, if he doesn't make it to first, the run doesn't count, right? That's another layer of what was so interesting about it, and I don't think really explained by JD/Boog. Javy even calls Willson safe at the dish, before then running to first, which as a result then felt like a bonus that he was safe there (and then onto 2nd no less!) but I'm pretty sure the run doesn't count unless he reaches first base safely.
Regardless, I have a feeling we'll be seeing that play for years to come. I find myself getting down on Javy sometimes with some of his more outrageous ABs, but his base running and tagging are just so next level, it's hard to even find someone in his class. That play netted 2 runs in that inning and the Cubs win the game as a result. Incredible.
