I never said drop in front. I said drops. Falls. Lands. Whatever. Off the bat the main goal is to score if its a hit. Your initial concern is not to tag to get to 3rd with 2 outs. And it wasn't immediately apparent that the ball was going to be caught. Revere was very deep.

Right. The point is, though, is that it obviously wasn't going to drop in front of the fielder. Thus, if Gomez stays close enough to second to tag, he will be able to score easily with his speed if the ball gets past the outfielder, which was what was going to happen if he didn't get to it. If it looked like it might fall in front of him, then yes, go part way and see what happens.

I can see your point. I just don't consider it to be a baserunning blunder because he's already in scoring position. Yes, getting to 3rd allows him to have a chance to score on a wild pitch, but I really don't think that's a big deal. And to be honest, off the bat I thought it was a hit.
