Is there a mechanic for this ?

If I remember right, you are like 6'6"?

I'm pretty sure if you ran up to the girl and towered over her and screamed at the top of your lungs while pointing at her face "YOU YES YOU YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRR OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"

She'd get the message.

And here, I'd deleted my post referring to that incident because I wanted to stop ragging on wade about that! Doh!

Ha! It was brought up at clinics.

And I saw your post.





You know, if you cant send em to the dugout crying, practice in the mirror until you can.

Tell me if I'm mistaken as I don't have the experience that you guys do, but as I envision myself in this situation, I envision myself making two calls. I assume that R2 (for future reference the lead runner should be designated R1, with the trailing runner being R2) was tagged first while standing on third base. When that happened, I would have made a safe call. Then, when R1 was tagged, assuming that R2 had not stepped off of third base, I would have made the out call on that runner. I think the point is a great idea, along with announcing that the trailing runner, or even "that" runner with the point would get the message across.

I'd be careful about announcing "that runner." We all remember how well it was received when McCain talked about "that guy."

Let's not get into a political debate here; I use that only as an example of how it could be received to say "that runner" and point.
