Walk-off whoopsie: Royals 4, White Sox 3 (10)

So, the game boiled down to this play. Spoiler alert: It didn’t turn out too well for the Chicago White Sox.

After a leadoff double in the 10th from Brian Goodwin, Alcides Escobar tapped a strong sacrifice bunt to move Goodwin to third, where all hell broke loose, sending the White Sox to defeat, 4-3.

It’s easy to jump on reliever Jeanmar Gómez for poor execution at third base, but the truth is, there was no play at third base:

And while Gómez needed to make the split-second decision to go to first base, or just cap-tip Escobar and eat the ball, his infielders must help his decision-making.
