Utilit99 4,099 Posted May 28, 2021 I was watching that game while that happened. Never saw anything like it. Why the first baseman didn't just go back to first base when Baez turned towards home I'll never know. One thing though, that was deemed a fielder's choice, no error was charged for him getting to first. I think the error was on the throw when he went to second base though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 822 Posted May 28, 2021 Does first baseman Will Craig even understand how baseball works? All I can fathom is he lost track of the outs, which is pathetic for a first baseman. Although he does make the league minimum of $570,500 per year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a brain fart when he was pulled off the bag down the line because of the throw... He figured since he was close to the runner and most runners would give up, he figured a tag would take care of it... Still someone should have been yelling at him to not tag him out to just throw it to first base where hopefully someone was covering... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is my biggest gripe with that game and that play. People think it cost them the world series, when it did not. They still had a game 7 as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ball had a higher bounce then just hugged the ground. That just has to be shlt to deal with for the rest of your life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Knight singled with two outs to score Gary Carter to make it 5-4... Then Bob Stanley came into the game and uncorked a wild pitch that scored Kevin Mitchell and moved Knight to second and tied the game at five each... Then Buckner's error... The Red Sox were up 3-0 going to the bottom of the sixth and things fell apart with the Mets scoring three in the sixth and three in the seventh... The Red Sox got two in the eighth to trail 6-5, but the Mets got two in the bottom half... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
