What, he was supposed to end the series at home and be the goat forever?
If that was his mindset, then he was a coward.
A perfect relay throw to the plate vs. a pitcher who was near flawless........
I would have waived him home.
Now everybody gets to 2nd guess his cowardice call.

Better than an anti-climatic pop-up.
Nope. It was a correct runner hold. The relay man had just caught the throw in from the outfield, (in SHORT left field), as the runner was just still steaming into 3rd. He would have been tossed out at home by 20 feet if he had been sent.
