Tigers vs Yankees Blown call at 2B

Sometimes, you anticipate the tag coming right at the leading edge of the bag, and put your focus right there. To me, it looks like what happened here. When you do that, you have a tendancy to try to get close. When you get too close, you sometimes lose the big picture,(or tag away from the bag).

As for moving, please remember that Suzuki dive at the plate, and how much Fred Astaire work the PU had to do. Movement is not aways bad, to get the right angle. It usually is to get closer.

Lesson: Angle over distance.
