She had another great pearl of wisdom on a play where there was a pop up near the 1st base dugout (don't remember the teams). F3 pulled up at the last second. The ball hit screen and landed foul. DC wanted INT on the on deck batter who was in the ODC but was about 3 feet away from F3 when she pulled up. Of course HP didn't give the INT but during the replays Michelle Smith says (paraphrased) that the ODB should never leave the ODC in that situation as that is "her" area and that the fielder has to go around the ODB if she wants to make a catch. UNBELIEVABLE.
