That's what I thought at first, but on the replay I'm not sure even a good throw gets him.
DIsagree, good throw he's out by at least 5 feet, mediocre throw he's out

On that replay, it definitely looks like a good throw would've gotten him. Ball was past d'Arnaud before a sliding Hosmer entered the picture.Gdiguy said:Jesus christ Duda, he was out by 5 feet
Too late, I took it back.Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:Nah, probably out
Tangled Up In Red said:All on Duda. Terrible throw.
And letting Cespy hit with the bases loaded. Mets fans will be re-hashing this for a long time. Hopefully.glasspusher said:Now the good effort by Volquez looms large
True this.rembrat said:
Wright started the shitshow by crossing in front of Flores. Wright's momentum is taking him away from Hosmer on 3B where as Flores doesn't have to crow hop a million times to get a soft throw off.
This was a real tough blown save. Nothing left the infield.AB in DC said:Jeurys Familia, three blown saves, but only one earned run allowed total.
BCsMightyJoeYoung said:Wright going for the ball was the problem. If he lets the SS handle it he has a better arm/angle .. Plus Wright can retreat to third and Hosmer can't get as big a lead.

True in retrospect. But a third baseman almost always takes it if he has a shot.rembrat said:

Not the worst risk up 3-1.glasspusher said:Suicide run by Hosmer, but clearly the Mets were playing tight.
It was still great baserunning. Forced Duda to make a tough play, and he didn't.Tangled Up In Red said:Took Joe and Harold about 10 pitches to acknowledge he'd have been out with a decent throw. After 2 minutes of "great base running".

Just a terrible throw by Duda.
He forced the action and made Duda make a good throw to get him. Not a slam dunk, but a decent gamble.DeadlySplitter said:I can't believe FOX is completely on KC's side on this... yes Hosmer got a maximum jump but he still would have been out with a decent throw. It was a shitty throw.
Ortiz woulda had him.Jordu said:It was still great baserunning. Forced Duda to make a tough play, and he didn't.
Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:He forced the action and made Duda make a good throw to get him. Not a slam dunk, but a decent gamble.
To be fair, it was wayyy too risky for the circumstances at this level. He just got rewarded. Throwing from first to home isn't hard.Jordu said:It was still great baserunning. Forced Duda to make a tough play, and he didn't.
The other problem is that Wrights arm is shot .. That sidearm flip is all he's got .. So good coaching by the Royals.patinorange said:True in retrospect. But a third baseman almost always takes it if he has a shot.
Just a terrible throw by Duda.
They've chosen to root for a team owned by the Wilpons and managed by Collins.soxhop411 said:I kind of feel bad for met fans
Yesterday's was about the same -- he comes in with one out and allows two soft ground balls.nvalvo said:This was a real tough blown save. Nothing left the infield.
Giambi woulda held the ball with a confused expression on his faceGdiguy said:
Oh it's a great gamble up 3-1, but that's a throw that a MLB player has to make in that situation.
