Seems wrong, if this were right and the double play is close at second you'd have no chance at first. Going from batting to running is slower than going base to base.

Rabbits and turtles, YoungUmp.

The only time I've offered advice is during "friendlies" tournaments. Usually these are tryouts for the travel teams. Rules are relaxed, everyone bats, etc.

I've told a coach about pitching violations once they removed that particular girl from the pitching position. I have also offered some inputs to coaches regarding their catchers - particularly those who have a tendency to stand up when catching a pitch, thus blocking the umpire's view.

Would never advise anyone during competitive play. Take the outs!
