One fun thing I always think about the wild card game.  The Soto double was probably the key play to us getting past the wild card game and leading us to the world series and at the same time the most selfish celebration that gave a free out.  That selfish play also allowed Hudson to come in without having a second to think about the situation he was coming into, and he may have imploded if he had another batter or two come up.   Soto did so many amazing things through this playoffs that I am going with he celebrated by design!

Umm, he didn't give a free out. He even explained it.

He went between 2nd and 3rd to make sure the throw went there and not to home allowing Rendon to cross the plate before he got tagged out.

Honestly its amazing that he (20 years old) was so wise to do that.
