In "A," one should be able to get his own plays.

Disagree? Hell, this is not disagreeing, this is showing your view on the situation! I have always seen the problem with rookies trying to get the angle and loosing sight of the play. You know, in the days before 2SF! Now, I've never run into the problem in the infield but now that you point it out, if you don't use the "working area" and move your butt a little, you could be severely out of position there-by missing the pulled foot. Sorry, I worked too hard on that mechanic in my younger so that it wouldn't happen.

But note, disagree with me again and.........................
