So,
I've gone back through my meager memory and tried to figure out exact what (or "if") I say when a dumbass batter starts to run to first with it occupied and less than two out.
I thought about it, and thought about it.
I even scratched my head a little.
I think rather than ever saying "Batter's OUT!" (which I will intone again - I WILL NEVER SAY)I think possibly in a very low voice to F2 I might lament something such as: "Nah, he's toast."
I don't remember saying that but at least one grey cell seems to go that direction.
Mostly, I just step back and let stuff happen.
NOW, with this new "concept" (new to me maybe, only) I will incorporate the "no catch!, NO CATCH!" and safe sign.
That is what I'll do and what I'll teach.
