Halladay bunts.....ball stays near plate seemingly foul.....catcher goes in front of the non-running Halladay, throws to 3rd....Pablo can't find bag and rolls around after missing it...gets up, double clutches and then throws out Halladay by over 20 ft???????? I timed it and Halladay had 6 seconds from th time the catcher got out of his way completely to make it to 1st before the throw....it was 8 seconds overall from the moment the ball was bunted until thte ball finally made it to 1st....and again, Halladay was over 20 ft away still....then the Phillies knock the cover off the ball


3-1 Phillies

Utley was trying to quickly grab the ball to tag Sanchez, and then throw to first for the DP to end the inning. But Sanchez was too smart for that, and stopped in his tracks. When Utley bobbled it, it left him the possibility of getting only one runner out, Sanchez, who he chose to force out at 2nd rather than tag him, with Torres scoring the run from 3rd, and Posey safe at first. Now I would have liked to have seen Utley not bobble it, then with Sanchez stopped he could go tag him, but be too late with the throw to first with the run scoring also; or he could throw to first and then Sanchez would be hung up in between first and third and he be tagged out going into 2nd or in the hot box, either way the run would score. So I'm guessing that if Utley doesn't bobble, you'd have a rare first and third inning ending double play that results in the run scoring!
