I don't believe I've ever seen a play studied and or dissected nearly as much as this one. It was something to watch the big guns break it down and put it back together again. All the while us little guys could sit back and soak it up like a sponge. I'm just thankful that just before the debate started I asked what relaxed and unrelaxed action meant. With out that knowledge everything discussed would have been about as clear as mud.
If you guys don't realize it I'll explain. I now know how to handle both missed bases and leaving early on ALL three bags. What the call is on a missed home and the mechanics for all of the above. That might sound eliminatory to you and I guess it is. I probably would have gotten the call right on the field (except for #2) but now when I get the call right I'll know WHY. I've always had this uncanny ability the make the right calls. (Most of the time) but I am never able to explain why, when questioned. And that is frustrating to me and to the coaches.
There is another topic that hopefully before next season starts, will be brought up again. That being Obstruction/Interference- ABC's. You must remember you all have been around the boards a lot and have got libraries full of rulebooks. But there will always be a Rookie like me signing on trying to figure out what the hell your talking about.
Relaxed and unrelaxed, the ABC's and other topics such as this are not like, are the hands part of the bat? What ya'll take for common knowledge in advanced interpretations is Greek to some of us. I'm just not afraid to ask.
