I don't think it's defensive indifference because they didn't purposely not cover those respective bags. It's similar to if a shortstop or second baseman look...
I think it could be an error on the catcher, for throwing low and allowing Damon to get a jump towards third. We saw Ibanez get an error in the 1st inning on...
