Is anyone going to EVEN MENTION that the OP should've been moving towards the working area when the ball was hit?

This is the problem with this "get it right at all costs" mentality. We've stopped analyzing the mistake the OP made in the first place and spend all our time talking about how we can get help and how we can lean on our partner to bail us out for not doing our jobs.

It's a force play at any base. Why did the OP feel the need to gety close to any base? Get to the working area, let the ball turn you, and prepare for anything.

I've worked with partners in HS varsity games who will ask for help twice a game and think that it's perfectly OK to do so. Why? Is it poor training?
