You might if the kicker's form was good

and the ball just took off on him. It is the player’s form, not the result.

You see some players lunge, or swinging late. Those are bad swings. On a good swing, everything is moving together in the right sequence. On a bad swing, when a player’s fooled, it’s not pretty.

That's not a "baserunning mistake", Vince

that is just one helluva play by the CF.

Don't agree

If you’re the baserunner you have to make damned sure you score on that play…because the chance that the CF will catch it and you will get doubled off is tiny. But in this rare case, Hamilton made the catch.
