Say it's the bottom of the last inning. Less than 2 out, game winning run on 3rd, a speedy one at that. The RF foul line is fairly deep, say 330-335. And the ball is hit high and deep into the RF corner, a couple feet foul, but not into the stands or over the fence-a high catchable fly ball that gives you enough time to set up under. Should you:
A: make the catch and try gunning it home in hopes of getting the final out and preventing the win?
Or B:Intentionally let the ball drop in foul territory in the hopes of the hitter striking out or grounding out on the next pitch or two, and keep the game-winning runner on third?
