Yup - with nobody out going back to tag makes sense
WIth one out, go halfway. Of course, expecting Kotsay to catch a fly ball is a somewhat reasonable assumption, but still.

You can't blame Hannahan there. Kotsay looked like he'd caught that.
You’d be bitching if Hannahan was doubled off first because he had assumed it was a hit.
by OldhamA on May 18, 2008 12:26 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
No, that's not the issue -
He went back to tag instead of going halfway. If he goes halfway he won’t get doubled off when it’s caught but he will score when the ball is muffed.

Couldn't agree with you more!
But it was a two-run game….and now it’s a one-run game.
If we lose this game by one run, that bat by-that pitch to-the Big Hurt will have been key.
But let’s see how things develop….

We'll score in the next inning
Of course we should already have 4 or 5 runs. It’s getting really hard to watch the A’s work so hard to not score runs.
Hanahan has to score there. The ball dribbled to the wall. He doesn’t even have to be standing on second to tag up. He could be off the base, go back and tag. Kotsay is running full speed toward the wall with his back to Hanahan.
