I also do not trail the B-R more than 6-8 feet - here's why. That is my partner's call. I do not want to put my partner in the position where say the 1B coach does not like my partner's call and says something to the effect of "Well what did the plate ump see, he was in a better position than you were!"

If there is a runner on 2B, you shouldn't be trailing the BR at all.

I agree to both the above statements, that why i queried the OC's appeal.

In ISF (and MLB-GB) we are taught to trail the BR half way to 1st with no Runners on. Only if the BU thinks they might have been a pulled foot would he call "Spence, did you see a pulled foot" I would then reply either No/Yes and he would make the call.

That's as far as I go with a pulled foot, everything else is my P's call, and stuff an appeal As i do most of the time anyhow! But's that another story that happened in Croatia at the European Womens Championship this year
