His premise rests on the counterintuitive strategy of deliberately making a poor move because the alternative is even worse! In this case, Perez driving in Gordon.

I was watching the game, of course, and at one point wasn't really sure that Gordon was going to make it to third. I 100% agree with you, he goes and he's dead at home.

What I've been imagining the past few days is what if a great baserunner—I mean all-time great—like Mays or Henderson or Willie Wilson hit the same ball, immediately dropped the bat and with no stumble took off. That would have been interesting!
