The aim's always to win the game, but they can have other goals too. With a 7 run lead, it's a good opportunity to see if someone can work out of his own jam. Perhaps what they learned today will have bearing on future decisions.
Very tough play. Only a great defensive SS makes it. He didn't. I didn't understand Dick's fawning and drawn-out adjective. It was merely a play not made. Nice try, but insufficient arm compounded by a double-clutch made it impossible.
