Note: Clark knows he was Wrong
During yesterday’s game, with the Mets down by two runs, with runners on first and third and no outs in the eighth, Brady Clark was thrown out at 
home to complete a first-to-home double play.
…in that situation, clark must have been thinking the infielders would go for the first-to-second double play, allowing him time to score…however, he should break towards home, in case the ball gets by the first baseman, but once it is picked up he must return to third and give the heart of the order a chance to drive him in…this is not the time to gamble…
Following the game, Clark told reporters, “I screwed up,” adding, “By the time I thought better of it, it was too late.”
Willie Randolph, speaking about the situation, which was indicative of the entire day, talking to reporters after the game:
“It just was not a good read in that situation by Brady. He’s aggressive, we’re aggressive, but you have to be thinking ahead and know that in that spot right there there’s no way he’s gonna throw the ball to second and back to first…
“So, just a mental mistake on his part, and that’s what I’m talking about.”
…once he commits to home, though, knowing he is going to be out by a mile, he should have knocked over the catcher…instead, he tried a swipe tag and never stood a chance…it’s dangerous, but it’s the only option at that point…
