When do you use the sell out?
  1. On a routine 6-4-3 DP that's close at first.
  2. On a routine 6-4-3 DP when the batter fell down in the batter's box.
  3. Runner off first gets doubled up following a line drive catch by an infielder.
  4. Runner on second thinks a ball hit to an outfielder will not be caught, but it is and the runner is out by 50 feet.
  5. A dead ball appeal on a runner that left early on a caught fly ball.
  6. A strike 'em out, throw 'em out DP.
  7. Others?
1, 3, 5 if not obvious, 6, tag at the plate, etc.
