There's two outs so the runner is going to score no matter what.

I thought he pulled up on a couple of other balls earlier in the series, balls that were higher fly balls that wouldn't have gone far on the ground if he didn't catch them.

I couldn't tell if he had a good jump with the ball off the bat or not but from what I could see he did the right thing since he was simply too far to make a diving catch. While I did see him pull up some, I think he needed another half step to be able to make the diving catch. The only thing I thought was wrong with that play was the throw should not have been made towards home and keep Scutaro off of 2nd. But, as it turned out, it didn't matter.
