Since these are obviously different maneuvers, it's dumb to call them by the same name. To avoid confusion, everybody (well, me, anyway ) is recommending that we call only #3 a jumpstop. #1 and #2 are to be called a hopstop.
Oh, No! Here comes the "hopstop" again. Isn't this the word that you trotted out in a previous discussion about a jump stop? The Bosox winning the WS does not entitle you to make up words.
