DD's TB coach told the players. The only job the base coach really has is to be STOP Sign, otherwise you run like hell!This is the mentality I'm trying to instill. Any ball to the outfield is at least two bases unless I stop you or the defense does something to make you stop. Any ball in the infield where they're not making a play on you, round the base at least one step as you find the ball (we don't play at a high enough level where doing this is going to hurt us).
Can't tell you how many times we could've taken an extra base on an infield error but the runners run directly to a base and just stop. They completely shut down everything. And it's not laziness. It's like they're a computer who was programmed to advance one base and then they just stand there waiting for the next input instead of actually playing the game they're involved in.
