The perspective should be: a successful eraser is a failure on the part of the zerg, rather than a failed eraser is a failure on the part of the terran.

He had the econ and army to crush Hyuk yet he still struggled. His TvZs used to be much better. Then again, he hasn't TvZ'd in ages (televised) so he's probably a bit rusty. Well if you're going to compare Baby's play to his own peak all his matchups are sloppy nowadays.

Oh lord almighty, even if free passes through, having only 3 Protoss in the Ro16 is just... QQ

Not sure why you feel that way. Baby had the typical 3-tank/SV push at a time when hyuk was on lair tech. Then hyuk's first attack failed. This situation is basically a your prototypical won-game for terran.
If it wasn't for the bio-mech craze, a normal terran would just stream his army into the natural and beat it down. Or at least kill the 3rd. Either way, Baby skipped the normal pre-defiler timing to make his mech transition. In the process dragged the game out another 10 minutes.

I'm not talking about his peak, just where he was in earlier rounds this season. He's a solid player overall, I expect solid play from him. His last TvZ was vs JD 2 months ago, and over 3 months for the game before that. He's been TvTings and TvPing exclusively for a while now.

hero sends a drone to 3, expands
Forge warping in at Free's nat choke

Probe still trying its best to disrupt mining - heads to the eggs to watch 2 lings spawn
Nex, cannon placed
Probe chilling at hero's nat - Hero takes his main gas as 2 lings and a drone come to the nat

Hero takes his nat
Probe comes to 3 to confirm hero's hatch there - and leaves
An incoming drone traps the probe to allow the trailing ling to get a lot of hits in but Free wakes up and the probe survives to enter the main again
Free taking his 2nd gas as the core starts in his main - his probe sees hero morphing a lair at his "3rd"

I expect a ZvZ finals at this rate.

hero not doing a good job of taking out the scouting probe - which has survived forever
Finally he adds a few more lings - but the probe still lives in hero's nat
first zealot heads out
Finally lings have speed and finish off the probe
4th hatch at hero's 3rd, spire on the way

Free's forge spinning, stargate done, citadel warping in
A zergling checks out 6, nothing there
5th hatch placed at hero's nat

Guess you are right, but I still feel it was a bad decision.

First corsair heads to hero's nat, attacks the ovie there after seeing the morphing den
