It was such a sharply-hit grounder that it had "easy double play" written all over it. And the easiest D.P. to turn is the 2nd to 1st. If it had been hit slowly, maybe to one side of the mound, then I could see going after the lead runner. That's why I was surprised when I saw him turn to throw to 3rd.
