Re the shortstop issue, I think Tannehill, who threw Jax out, may well have been playing second as was previously suggested, and that despite also being listed at second, Zeider may have been at shortstop and not involved in the play. Zeider played various infield positions that season according to Baseball Reference and, tellingly, in the account of the game he made a high throw to first for an error. Much more likely an error by a shortstop. So that objection may indeed be disposed with.
EDIT Also more likely Jax would have tried to advance on a grounder to the right side.
