"A lot of ppl are criticizing my boy IKF lead, here's my two cents you get as far off as the third baseman gives you, if he is overly aggressive there and gets backed pick than what would be your reaction than? Situation if the game it's on the hitter He did exactly right here. The #1 rule with bases loaded and less than 2 outs is you cannot get doubled up on a line drive to 3rd baseman."
"So your lead is as far as the 3rd baseman is from the bag. He did this perfect. IKF's small lead and a lack of a secondary was the difference for Toronto not winning a title. This was my next point & highlights the whatifisms of die hard fans. U can't be mad that you were over aggressive to end game 6 and at the same time be mad you weren't aggressive enough in game 7."
With bases loaded and fewer than two outs, the primary rule is to avoid being doubled off on a line drive to the third baseman. A baserunner's lead should equal the third baseman's distance from the bag to minimize that risk. The player followed this rule correctly by taking a conservative, perfectly measured lead. A small lead and absence of a secondary lead can cost critical games and contributed to Toronto failing to win a title. Fans cannot logically fault both excessive aggression in one situation and insufficient aggression in another. Multiple parties share blame, and recent similar doubled-off endings reinforce that responsibility.
