Yeah. That throw to 3rd for the lead runner was a great play, but quite aggressive. I think few guys try it. The narrative would be different right now if the throw wasn't in time and now you've got runners on the corners with no outs. I don't think "Vlad doesn't want to win" is ever fair criticism.
