Is what they are calling it around here when the pitcher starts
with the heel on the picther's plate and slides it forward a bit
prior to releasing the ball. Saw this often early in the season.
Guess it could also be defined as a "crow hop", just not *hopping*,
but sliding.

That is also called a "crow drag" in parts of the country. I recall hearing it was the latest craze several years ago in California, to argue that, absent the "hop", the replant was then legal.
