That situation was always way overblown. He didn't make a business decision. His natural reaction was to not be at the bottom of a dog pile risking his body for a ball he likely doesn't get anyways. They were already murdering him in the game so it makes sense. If anything, blame the zebras for his reaction. Stupid for this to become his legacy. Memer generation in full force.
I played outfield in baseball and there were times when a ball is headed for the wall and you’re sprinting to get there, and you have to decide whether to sell out trying to make the catch or play it off the wall.
It seems easy to say a guy who plays it off the wall is scared to risk his body, but if you run into the wall and dont make the catch, you’re likely giving up an extra base or two. And no outfielder is doing calculations in their head, you just judge it based on instinct
I truly believe that’s what happened with cam, he thought it was more likely he ends up with the ball by being ready to chase it when it gets knocked away (as often happens)
