Not trying to be difficult here . . . but as you pointed out this is MLB. Are we going to start looking to these guys to get mechanics or is this a philosophical question? Not having any clue as to what was going through his mind, it could be that he saw a tag, then the runner touch and then the ball squirt out and therefore it didn't need a hard sell. If you have a steal at 2nd and the same thing happens are you gonna sell hard? Maybe it's different with thousands of people in the stands but I'm not convinced a hard sell was necessary. On the other hand, it wouldn't have done damage to have one - I just didn't feel it was necessary.
