If you’re speaking more to the pitchers situational awareness in general, then I don’t have a good answer for you other than it’s Sam Long, who is roughly #7 or #8 in the bullpen pecking order.

Oh I agree -- wouldn't have made a bit of difference.
But if he has his head in the game he at least makes one of those futile scoop/flips at home because...why not? Maybe the dude stumbles or something.
Going to 1b with it was just braindead. Guessing he didn't realize there was only 1 out? Because he sure was emphatic with that throw to 1st, as though it meant a damn thing.
