Are you listening to what Garth said or just making excuses?

Again, there's no reason to be straightlined on this. Move towards the 45 foot line and get the right angle. And when the coach asks, follow Garth's advice.

Or, if you prefer to get thrown under the bus......

BTW, which coach? did you ask the plate umpire cause the first base (read: assistant coach) asked you?
