Just got home from the match...haven't read this full thread, but would the outcome have been different if Torre had pinch-hit for the pitcher in the sixth?
It's possible. Good question though.
How does tagging 3B on that play demonstrate amazing awareness? Getting to the ball and then throwing a bullet home was nice but tagging 3B and then throwing home was the naturla thing to do. I guess it's easy to spot the people who have never played ball or, if they did play, who weren't very good.
