Take it easy. F2's coach is probably not thrilled with that throw either. F2's job is to keep runners from scoring and throwing the ball in a place where a teammate can't catch it is not the smartest move. Wade's description fits just fine.

In my games I've seen dumb moves by catchers, pitchers, batters, runners, coaches, even--yes--umpires.



Say what?

Seth:

Last week, in a boys' H.S. varsity game I saw Team H's F2 make the most dumbest play I had ever seen a H.S. player make. I am in the C, runner on 2nd with zero outs and a 3-1 count on the batter. Next pitch is ball 4, the B/R takes off for 1st, while F2 immediately turns around and starts complaining to my partner (the PU) about the pitch being called ball 4. Guess where the runners were by the time F2's coach reminded him that the ball was still live? You guessed it, 2nd and 3rd. Would you believe that Team V did not score that inning after that bonehead play by H's F2.
