More proof of bad management by Bell.
You find that out, spread the word through out your dugout and then your hitters aren't being caught by surprise late in the game.
The only triple that I ever hit in High School baseball came from our coach telling us that our catcher told him that the ump was giving strikes a full baseball and a half outside of the strike zone. I got to a 1-2 count and he threw a lower fastball off of the plate that I would have normally let go by me but I dove into it and lined a shot over the 2nd baseman's head that split the right fielder and the center fielder.
It irritates me to no end that my high school coaches taught me basic stuff that these guys don't seem to know. I had more outfield defensive ability than most of these guys, but hey . . . if you just focus on left/right splits it all works out I guess. You can still keep your job if Nick Krall is your boss.
