Personally, I think pick-off attempts in this situation are fools gold. I believe the odds of a decent pitcher striking out the batter are greater than the odds of the stars lining up right to get the pick-off. But, again, that's just my thinking, and I'm a doofuss most of the time.
No doofuss in you. Lose a game on missed pick off to first is doofuss IMO. Winning run on third, force out at every base, they are going to have to get a base hit in our game.
Scrimmage game? Throw at every runner who cares if we win.

So you like your chance with a 3-1 count and the bases loaded better?With a 2-1 count, she receives ball three
I am in the don’t throw camp.
On offensive we do have a sign that the runner(s) should try to advance on a pick off. If we had this on properly the defense is going to have to make a few throws and catches to have a chance to get an out.
