Did you get the " But Blue, it's a timing play" statement? Arent coaches great?
I had a play similar about 3 years ago. The ball is hit to Center Field with a runner on 2nd. The CF throws it home and it gets by the catcher. She goes to the fence, spins, throws to the pitcher who is coming, late, to the plate. The pitcher catches the throw, and places the ball right by the plate on the 3rd base side of the plate. Unfortunately, for her, the runner dives in head first, horizontal to the ground about 1 foot off the ground. By the time the pitcher adjusted, the runner had slapped the plate with her hand. One of the prettiest plays I've seen in a long time. The pitcher's tag was somewhere on the shin, after the runner's hand hit the plate. Never did convince the coach of that one.
