That was a wild play. No excuse for guy at third to not be tagging up.
What do you mean? He did tag up? Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
I think what happened is that was Will Smith thought he caught it. If he'd looked at the third base coach or the ump he would have known to run and not tag up.

He tagged up however it became a force out when the ball hit the wall. In the confusion the guy on second didnt run to third which meant that Contreras pull off that force out by himself.

Even though it is a force play if he was running from the moment the guy caught the ball he would not get thrown out at the plate. That's 400 ft away. There must have been some kind of hesitation on his part.

100%. He went back and tagged again. I just posted a video that shows everything that happened. #1255965

Ok that makes more sense.

The out at third base was the bigger mistake.
reply
Smith was running to second and signaled to the other guys to tag up, Dino Ebel (third base coach) was telling them to run but they didn't see him I guess.

I would have to see the video of what he specifically did but if he was tagging up from the get go how did he not reach home before two throws from deep CF?
I suppose he could have been tagging and then taken off when it popped out of the guys glove and then went back to tag up again once he caught it off the wall after the bobble thinking it was a clean catch. Maybe that's what happened.
