No BS, man, baseball has ways to take care of themselves. And in adult ball, if a guy runs obviously out of the lane to gain an advantage, HE WILL GET PLUNKED.

Also, note, I have said they need to be taught that the Loob over into the field (a last resort) is not the last resort that should be taught. They need to be taught first to find a lane, the Firstbaseman need to be taught to help the catcher early with an INSIDE or OUTSIDE call, but the last resort isn't a trick shot, that could end up with the runner at second. The last resort is to make a good solid throw to where you would normally find the firstbaseman, and THAT is through the runners back.

Until it becomes a call for simply causing a bad throw, This is the BEST PLAY for the defense to make, when nothing else is easily available.

I love how DG has resorted to namecalling, the last hope for the uneducated.
