I will never understand why major league infielders choose to backhand ground balls hit basically directly right at them instead of crouching and scooping it up. Is it a matter of looking cool or something?

IDK - would have put him in better position to throw home?

It didn't look like Javy was fooled or looked away too soom, the ball just didn't come up to where he thought it would.

Looked like he looked up when they showed the replay.  He was definitely thinking of going home.

Maybe that’s it—also, throwing to first? Don’t have to move and set your feet as much? I suppose it’s a high percentage-enough play, but oh, does it ever look bad when you botch it.
