Troy Glaus is not known for his defensive prowess, especially at third base, and especially in 2010 -- in fact, he’s only played two innings at third all season. In the tenth inning, though, he made a gutsy decision, and it paid off in the form of an inning-ending double play.
Giants Vs. Braves, NLDS Game Two: Troy Glaus Makes Gutsy Decision, Saves Game For The Moment
Reliever Kyle Farnsworth, after assuming pitching duties from the injured Billy Wagner, found himself with the bases loaded and facing Rookie of the Year candidate Buster Posey. Posey grounded to third. Rather than get the sure out at home, Glaus elected to fling it to second. The Braves converted the double play with close calls at second and first, and the Braves lived to play another inning.
Whew. I think we may be bearing witness to a classic.
