Melton is not a big league hitter right now. Love his glove and base running but him starting is a real problem.
Didn't look like a suicide squeeze so I don't think it was a dugout decision. If it was a suicide squeeze runner would have run with the pitch and would have made it.
It was a routine play. The guy didn’t even need to make the fancy glove flip. At least give him the opportunity to strike out. Then if you want to do it…you can do it on the very next batter with one out. That way if it doesn’t work it doesn’t even matter.
Welp...it took a perfect defensive play to defeat it...so wasn't exactly the worst call in the world...except that it failed.
