I will never give the safe signal to signal I don't have obstruction or interference. Teach what you want and do what you want, but I've never heard that from anyone in my area. If I don't call it, it's pretty damn obvious that I don't think it's either of the two, so why would it be necessary to give a "safe" signal?
Is that taught at pro school? |

I'm not talking about a "no catch" signal to show a ball wasn't caught. Everyone does that. We're talking about giving the "no catch" (safe) signal when you AREN'T going to call obstruction or interference.

I was not trained to give a safe signal to indicate no obstruction or interference, so I don't, I just call it when I see it and give no sign when I am not going to call. So I am interested in other's training/point of view.
I was trained to signal Safe, No Catch, on a skipper.. so I do. |

They should be able to read a safe signal and the words "no catch" if done properly. |

The mechanic is taught for use only when it might appear to some as obstruction or interference, not for use on ordinary plays where there is not the slightest chance of obstruction or interference. If a play is one that looks a bit odd, and could lead to either team squawking about a no call, the correct procedure is to signal "safe" and say "that's nothing."

I got into a bit of rhubarb this year too saying "no CATCH" I no longer use the word "catch" anymore...runner simply hear "Catch" and we get into trouble...it didn't affect the game, but my words did make a difference in that particular play. Now I either say nothing and signal or as somebody else stated..."No, No"

Very right on the former. I mean...c'mon....This is not cool, this is pathetic. |

Not one of his best photos, granted. But the music is timeless, Aerosmith still rocks hard, and they are one of my Top 10 all-time favorite bands, so I still consider them, as a group, to be very cool.
