i have to go with,instead of trying to deke the runner, he should have put himself in a better position to play the ball and make a good throw to the cutoff man. The odds of making the catch were slim, but the risk/reward on the deke was by failing to make the sure play, he guaranteed the run scored. If he made the sure play, he might have held pedroia to third or Santana might have gunned him down at home.
