Sweep tags @ 1B on errant throws.

In my post, I only advocated a step or two towards the line. As far as going in, I would not generally agree. I would agree with you and Steve, you need to be reading this play. So many things can come into play; you dont want to obstruct the runner, you dont want to get hit by the ball, you need to be able to react if a play goes to two, you need to be stationary at the proper time, and you need to see that tag.

You need to put down the cane and take off those dark glasses. Tell me just how an umpire could even get in the way of a runner or hit with a thrown ball executing the mechanic suggested.

Glad to see you finally got the gist of the purpose of the original post.
