The Issue: In Game 2 of the World Series, the San Francisco Giants loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh inning and the score tied 0-0 against the Detroit Tigers. With Brandon Crawford batting against left-hander Drew Smyly and the pitcher's spot due next, Tigers manager Jim Leyland decided to not play the infield close in order to cut off a run at home plate. Instead, the Tigers positioned themselves at double play depth, conceding the run and the lead with six offensive outs remaining to catch up. As the Tigers hoped, Crawford grounded into a double play , scoring Hunter Pence from third base. Pinch-hitter Ryan Theriot struck out to end the inning with the Tigers trailing 1-0. The Question: Did Leyland do the right thing, or should he have played the infield close in order to stop the run from scoring at any cost?
