Shucks. I guess we'uns ain't near as smart as them experts in Wisconsin.

Poor old backwards Spokane, we're the only area in which coaches teach runners to watch for when the pitcher is on the rubber. Stupidly, I guess, they figure when he's on the rubber he'll have to either step off or step towards the base, giving them time to get back. What they try to avoid is leaving the bag when the pitcher can just fling the ball over without any prepatory move.

I'll let them know that when they get picked off by a pitcher who is violating a rule...they had it coming.
