I personally did not see how throwing to the base through the runner, and throwing at the runner were all that different, hence my poor usage of language. Nor did I think anyone would assume that I meant do not try anything else first. These are MY mistakes. However, even when I spelt things out more clearly you decided not to read what I was writing anymore and simply get emotionally attached. That was YOUR mistake.
It takes Two to tango, I have most definatly taken responsibility for my portion. I have learned from my mistake, and will hopefully not make a similar one in the future. That is how I try to Grow as a human. I hope you can do this in the future too, That would make the world a better place.
Godspeed.

Exactly, they are the same thing, which is why I take exception.
If F2 is throwing 'at the base' he is throwing at the runner for the purpose of drawing the interference. The exact same thing you suggested be taught in big boy ball.
If he's throwing at the base he is not throwing to F3s glove.
When was the last time you saw F3 standing squarely on the bag with his glove at his chest? That is the position he'd have to be in to justify throwing at the bag, or through the runner.
F2 needs to be throwing at F3s glove, which will easily be 4 to 5 feet inside or outside of the bag.
If you believe throwing at a runner to draw an interfence call is part of the game then stick to your guns, if you've had a change of heart then say so, but don't try to blame me or anyone else for misinterpreting your posts. You were quite clear.
