Lets not also forget to sell when there might some other kind of doubt...i.e....the first basemean juggling the ball,the possible pulling of the foot,etc,etc...
Plus, remember the less you say on the routine things, the more they will listen on the IMPORTANT stuff. Remember that on the routine things, use one word instead of two,and none instead of one if possible!
On routine ground balls where the runner or batter is out by 30 feet say NOTHING..just raise the arm quick and get back in position
On fairly routines where it might be a couple of feet....a quick 'out' will suffice,thank you
Thne on the bangers, you CAN go OUUUUUTTT,with the big overhand...and people will think 'Gee...he mustve gotten that one right!"..well..HOPEFULLY they will say that!
The same thing goes with 'safes'....I find the less I actually have to even SIGNAL safe, the better off I am....remember they are safe until put out,and signal accordingly..UNLESS YOU HAVE TO SELL IT...I find myself even on fairly close 'safes' barely signalling it...barely SAYING it...and you know..it makes those OUTS even much more believable...
I could go on a whole rant about selling behind the plate..but I won't....
