DO you follow the ball to the base???

Now you have someone looking for a call that is yours and you didn't see it. Let the ball take you all the way in, that way you won't get fooled.

Sarge, be careful giving advice to your betters. And if you don't know who those are, assume they are your betters until proven otherwise. Stick around a while, it will be obvious who knows what they are talking about and which 3 guys don't.

Also - if you'd actually read Bob's post instead of picking out 3 words to jump on, you'd see that he was talking about moving his eyes forward AFTER knowing the ball was already on the way to the base he was watching and he wasn't in the way of the throw.

Mccrowder, sure didn't mean to get on your wild hair, but you know what happens when you assume. I surely didn't mean to degrade what might be bob's experience and if that that is the impression, I apologize. But you don't know me and please don't assume to do so. Don't let the "newbie" to this forum relate to MY experience on the field.

Oh boy, here we go again.

Trust us sargee, we are far past the things that seem to be in your answers.

I'll let your posts stand for you - this is where I base my assumptions about you. You want to change that opinion? Feel free... I wait with baited breath.

Did you re-read the post you were replying to yet? Bob was most assuredly not saying we should look toward a base that we think the ball it going to before it's actually going there.

4000+ posts. 9 posts.

I think I'm safe in my assumptions so far...
