The latter kinda cuts both ways for me, in this sense.
It would have required some pretty fast reactions to be able to intentionally move into a pitch going down and in like that. If I question whether the move into the ball was intentional on that basis, then I have to give the benefit of the doubt that he couldn't have gotten OUT of the way either.
I wish it had been more obvious but it just wasn't for me.
