I thought I was very clear on that. There is no such thing as a "Lazy Miss". The catcher either tries for the ball or he doesn't. As Yoda, would say "Do or no do, there is no try."

The catcher either moves for the ball or he doesn't. If he doesn't move, it is intentional, period.

He gets to make that mistake once. Next time he won't be playing.

Bad assumptions. As most of us know, some players flat out can't play that position. Some are just starting and haven't really learned how yet. Sometimes they just blank out. Sometimes the pitcher crosses them up. Sometimes they're POed at their coach and screw up on purpose. "Get the ump" misses are quite rare because the players know the consequences.

Try Valium.
