It's that he hesitated before deciding to go home. You can't be at DP depth, hesitate, and still try to get the runner at home. His instinct was to go for 2, he should have.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I agree with you.
Or else go home immediately. But pick one.

Yes, though I tend to think going for 2 was the better play there. It might have been tough, but even if he hadn't hesitated, he still had to get a good runner out at the plate from DP depth and, assuming he's successful, have Gregg get another batter out without letting the winning run score.
But I don't think there's a right answer between going home and going for 2. Hesitating was the problem.

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena.
