R1 at 1B trots to second base on a ball hit to F8, who misplays the ball. Third base coach emphatically signals R1 to third when he sees the misplay.
R1 picks him up late. Ball beats him by ten feet, lazy slide, tag, he's out!
R1 pops up and says, "he missed the tag!" Third base coach, "shut your mouth, the ball beat you and wouldn't have if you were hustling. Get your *ss of the field and sit!"
