Heard today from a coach

IMO, you really cant. A good partner will tell you not to do that to him again. There is never a time you should meet just to humor a coach. There should be a reason you are meeting with your partner. A coach asking for "Angle" is BS - we know that except for a very very few things like pulled foot or if you are in C and a pick at 1B, we're not going for help. Other than that you should be 8-15 feet from the play and in a good spot.

Just because it was a banger and coach wants a second shot at a call is never a reason. From your perspective, just because the coach is pressuring you doesnt mean you must fold. Ownership of a call is very important. ESPECIALLY if you know you screwed it up. I'm not gonna relieve you of your heat. Thats on you.

FYI: My previous post was not directed at any one poster, including the OP. It was a general rant.
