Earlier this morning I caught the news blurb there were five walk-offs last night.

At the time I had the video on but the sound was muted. I find it a little funny because I kept noticing one run ball game scores and players celebrating. Then I decided to listen.
 
Here's the thing in my book. You don't stop running. No matter what you think the call might be...don't stop running.



100%. That's the problem. Kids see this crap and it creates terrible habits. Michael Harris did it last night. Now it didn't keep him from going two, but it's the fact he sat there and watched it for two seconds before busting it out of the box.

When I was in ninth grade I missed the steal signal from my coach and got caught down. I saw the call, and was asking myself, "wait, what?"

The lesson I learned was this...always run. I couldn't hit a fast ball. I couldn't hit a curve. But, I could make contact....and run to first. He told me that..."if I'm looking at you, run." The back door Coosa got me when I over ran over second haunts me to this day.
 
I still have to ask...why did you chase that?



I went back and watched the AB (well, the whole outing). That AB he went slider right on the outside corner for a strike looking, then 2 straight cutters, again outside corner (one was fouled off). 4th pitch went back with the slider and dude couldn't lay off.
