Taylor's misplay didn't allow Azarenko to score. Muncy's throw getting away from Smith did. The cutoff man has to have an eye on the ball and an eye on the runner. The catcher has to make the call. In college our voice signs were "Second," "Third" and "Cut (second, third)" and plain "Cut" (hold the ball). Our pitcher was to run to towards the line between second and third (if it wasn't obvious) and then figure out which base to back up.
