What is the difference between a catcher who won't catch and one who deliberately lets the ball go. What I mean is that a catcher who won't catch makes a conscious decision not to catch the pitch. Therefore, it is a deliberate action on his part. It makes no difference to me if he is making this decision to get back at me, his coach, his pitcher, etc. It is unsportsman-like conduct and will result in his ejection.
I do agree however that a catcher should not be run because of incompetence. Several previous posts have indicated effective methods of hinting that perhaps the defensive coach should reconsider his choice of catchers.
By the way, how does one become a "senior member" on this board? Is it a function of number of posts, etc?
