Pet peeve: Bang-Bang play at 1st and the 1st baseman turns to look at the ump to see what the call is, then turns completely toward the ump to give that incredulous look when it doesn't go their way, meanwhile the lead runner who started on 2nd scores.

Finally found this one :cool:. My main suggestion is 1st base learns to catch all throws with one hand and the throwing hand goes in the opposite direction (that helps very much in keeping the foot on the bag during a stretch)..
