re: First baseman had wrong foot on the bag restricting his ability to stretch for the throw
Posted by tigersbb on 5/11/24 at 6:09 pm
[quote]The most difficult catch in that position would be an errant throw to the inside of the field which might sail into the outfield.
The target to throw at is 3-4’ from the bag in fair play. An errant throw further towards second base and all the first baseman has to do is open up his stance ...

Using your logic, a catcher should always line up in the empty batter box in case the pitcher throws a wild pitch.[/quote]
Nope. Catcher stays right where he is and has the flexibility to catch a pitch on either side of the plate. YOUR suggestion virtually eliminates the ability to catc...

[quote]He should set his right foot AGAINST the bag with his body in a semi crouch allowing him flexibility to move in either direction
So he should stand in a position ready to be trucked by the runner.[/quote]
Nope. He should have his right foot and not his left against the corner of the ba...

[quote]We've found the real issue. You are only concerned about outcome, not process. If you do the little things right all the time, they will work out over the long-term. You are focused on what would be the non-fundamental play that may have worked once last night, but it not the correct baseball...

[quote]Because it’s simple I didn’t think I’d have to explain it. If Jones right leg is on first two things can happen. The first is if Milazzo’s throw is the exact same, then Jones can attempt to make a play and most likely have the same result. Only other result is he catches it and face plants in...

[quote]The only way he should use his right foot on the bag with a throw coming from home plate is if he’s lining up in foul territory. In that situation (and the runner is in his lane), you’re giving absolutely no throwing window.
Even still, if you’re using your right foot and lined up in fair ...

[quote]The proof is in the result of the play. Other than your worthless comment you did nothing to prove me wrong.
That’s not proof at all. You’re wrong.[/quote]
Once again, you did nothing to justify your position. The play clearly had a bad result, put in motion by a poor throw for which t...

That doesn’t make what Jones did incorrect though. It’s fundamental baseball to setup the exact way Jones was. Opens up a major window for Milazzo to deliver.[/quote]
Best case scenario that may be good in theory and if Milazzo executes then its all a moot point. However, once Milazzo...

I disagree. It limited his flexibility and reduced his stretch radius. He was frozen when the throw went off target as h...

I'm sure the guy running straight at him had something to do with him not fully extending.
It was catchable if Jones adjusts better, but I'm not sure he could without getting destroyed.[/quote]
You just made my point. Had he set up with his right foot on the bag he would have been a...

The reason you see so many people do it like that is because in that situation they’re doing it correctly and you’re the one who is wrong. This is pretty basic.[/quote]
The only time might be a thro directly down the first base line from the plate area. Regardless it is absurd for a fir...

[quote] You're saying he should have set up to the outside of the basepath and have the catcher throw directly across the front of the runner? Or your saying if Jones would have lined up to where the catcher was accidentally throwing it, then he would have caught it..[/quote]

[quote]The right handed first baseman should have had his right foot on the bag
This is not true when receiving a ball from home.[/quote]
He wasn't receiving a throw from home in the usual sense which would be parallel to the base line with the catcher near the plate. The ball is near the moun...

Posted by tigersbb on 5/11/24 at 7:05 am
The right handed first baseman should have had his right foot on the bag which would have allowed for him to stretch further and possibly catch the ball. That is a basic fundamental but I see this improper footwork frequently by today's players. I would like to see a a clear video of the play but ...
Is Haleigh Bryant eligible for the AAI award next season?

The AAI award is given to the best senior gymnast every year and Haleigh Bryant won it this year. Will Haleigh be able to repeat? What if she is a graduate student? Does that eliminate her from consideration?
If she can and does win it again the gymternet will be in total and glorious melt down....
