I really think that R2 was so focused on plate and F2 that he did not see PU until he touched home and looked up. He tried to hold up, but PU was maybe 4 feet behind the plate directly in line with the runner. R2 was Freddie Bynum, one of Oakland's prospects. He knelt by the PU until the PU was able to get up. Anyway, I think PU was expecting R2 to slide, not score standing up. It was kind of reminiscent of the Jeremy Giambi/Jeter play in the playoffs a couple of years ago. (Without the collision).
