Did anyone else think that the Richie Weeks double that went over Alf's head was catchable? I did.
Also, I don't understand why Theriot's play at the end was dumb. Is it because you think he should have gone for the double play?
I'm kind of the opinion that it would have been a slim chance.
It's true though that he shouldn't have hesitated; he should know before the ball is hit exactly what he's going to do...bottom of the 9th, score tied, Braun up, man on third...make your decision and stick with it.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I believe a good defensive shortstop would've made that play -- whether it was a throw home or turning the DP. The problem was that Theriot couldn't decide what he wanted to do and the hesitation made it impossible to make either play.
