"Tail Wagging The Dog"
I thought this excerpt from one of Carls articles is worthy of some discussion.


"That’s why some umpires are moving to the C side of the diamond with a runner on first only. They have a far easier time calling the steal of second; in addition, studies seem to show the angle for the first-base pick-off play is better in C than in B. Lots of umpires resist that innovation, though, because the coaches claim C is too far away. But isn’t that the tail wagging the dog?"


Any thoughts?

Tim.
