Topic related, seeing that pitcher get his foot ON the bag from the C position is the nutbuster for me. As we watched in Game 6 last night, the angle makes the difference when a pitcher is covering for a first baseman who dove to grab a liner. I've guessed correctly on every one, at least that's what I tell the coach when confronted.
