Re: Stealing in SP

As for stealing generally you will see about 2 or less steals per game maybe after the guys get used to it will see a little more. Havent seen a close play yet...

Now the only thing I would like to add is I hope next year in SP that ASA will use the C slot as we do in fast pitch mechanics just make a lot more sense to me then the mechanics they are using now

Don,

Thank you. This is exactly what I have been saying since they passed this in November. Everyone is so up in arms about this and most have never even worked or seen it in action.

However, as far as your take on the mechanics, I would disagree with you. If you were shown the proper mechanic for this, I don't see how you could possibly believe being behind the SS is a good position for the SP game.
