After saying that Steves advice was stupid (3 times) and inferring that he was as well, you should likely take your own advice.
Pejorative words like "stupid" are not a sign of maturity...

This is how we learned the game, so what is the sense in babying the youth of today? Ever see a big leaguer come in standing up when the fielder is at the bag turning the routine DP?

It was stupid advice then, it is stupid advice today, it will be stupid advice tomorrow.
What you teach is to turn the DP and get the out and if the R gets hit, then you hope you get an interference call to bail out your stupid throw.

Hey Tom,
Come in standing up when I'm turning the DP and see what I do then. I know I'll get the interference call, and the throw will not have been stupid, but you will have been.

Grow up.
