Getting stuck in C and D positons in fastpitch

DaveASA/FED,

That's just a tough spot.

When I am in the yard, the situation you note is the main situation I feel compelled to pre-game :

Me on left side and ball hit to left side.

(It's much worse than being in A with a screamer two inches fair down the right side.)

My pre-game is to ask Plate ump to be ready to give the play at first a little extra attention, if he would be so kind.
