Two outs, two strikes on the batter, runners first and third . . .

Why does any catcher ever throw down or even run some kind of cut off play? Been watching this game for 30 years and at least 80% of the time the runner on third scores if catchers does anything other than ignore the runner on first. Happened this weekend and we scored. I'll never understand it.

You named two key factors - know your opponent and work on it in practice.

If the second baseman reads the third base runner on the way to the cut
