Cabrera on first and Raeburn on third. Cabrera was picked off terribly, got the 1B to chase him and Raeburn stole home.

Hmm, I might argue that it
DIDN'T work.
If the object is to fake the throw to third and pick the guy off first - no harm to the fielding team, then the offense scoring a run because they had enough sense to get in a run down.....maybe isn't as planned and not a success? If the play "works" you should pick the guy off and NOT have a run score.
Thoughts?
