How many times have your catchers thrown the ball away throwing to first?

Also on a throw to first I would probably send my runner from third anyway. It's only 60 feet, a lot can happen.

Just let the runner go is what I have always taught. Most of the time with these trick plays, the ball ends up getting thrown around and more damage is done then if the runner just went to second.

Just my $.02
So just let the offense get another runner in scoring position, good strategy....
You've obviously never seen my catcher throw. If he throws it's almost a guarenteed 2 runs.

Not every team has mad talent like yours appearently does and you have to do what you need to to prevent unearned runs. I have just seen that trying the trick plays and throws down to first etc. backfire more than they succeed
