[QUOTE= The real problem is not the coaching of the runner to make contact with the infielder but the coaching of the infielder to obstruct by standing on the base.[/QUOTE]
Not just standing on the base, Blue, standing within 2 feet of that coveted corner.
Wade each of you have your punitive hot button issues. Irish's is the silly first third play where offense pushes limit of the LBR, (except when his DD is the catcher)
He counts out "one mississ..." then BAM.
Blue I had last summer made a punitive call on the coaches bucket interference play "I warned you at the plate meeting about coaches buckets....."
I applaud MTD for recognizing the sneakativity of the defense.
