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.
