Jimenez actually made a mistake on that play, even though it worked out.

You're supposed to run AT THE RUNNER until he commits to going one way or the other.

Jimenez didn't. He threw the ball to Machado very early.

Pitchers are not supposed to be involved in run downs. Most managers don't want them running at anyone. Giving it up early in that instance is the right play. Let the real IF handle it.

Jimenez didn't. He threw the ball to Machado very early, before DeShields committed to running that way.

Very early. Immediately. Like throw it to a fielder who knows what to do. :drek:

But the good ones do. KNOW where to go. Moose was a great fielder. Real asset to the team.
