What do you mean a quick search? What you REALLY mean is just LOOK at who the catcher is. I know all you millennial kids can't retain any information, but the solution isn't to search it.

@@JoeMama-iq2xs Part of training is learning your place. You think they subbed that rookie in with any confidence that he'd successfully steal against _this_ catcher? Hell no.

[@FTSIOBye]

Agreed. 9 years almost and I love messing with base runners so much. I did something similar to this with a runner. She kept inching off the bag so I give signal to throw back to first. She slides back and safe. Next pitch she inches even further out and I know with my pitcher where I put my mitt is where the ball will go. So I signal a fast curve ball to the outside. Girl takes off and my pitcher just hits the deck cause she knows what's coming. The girl was out by a solid 5 steps.. 3rd out of the 9th inning and we are done. Won 6-0. The batter wouldn't look at me and the runner stared at my pitcher till I looked her dead in the eye and she ran back to the dug out.
