Ok obviously my lesson is not learned, By Throwing "at the bag" I mean The terminology of "Throw it to First. " "throw it to Second" I mean to the person as one would any other time they would throw it To the Bag. Throwing at the bag is silly since the you would then be throwing the ball into the dirt as it were.

My point was simply, if all else is not an option, Throw directly to the Firstbaseman as though there were no runner. Not lob the ball into the outfield. This option will most likely be through the runner, in my example of them being fully outside the running lane in fair territory.
