Thought about that this morning. Odds are we're going to create more injuries than we're going to prevent.What happens if someone rolls an ankle on this thing
I guess when "they" stop investing millions of dollars into the sport?When are they realize injuries are just a part of the game?
We would still have hitters watching the 3rd strike even w/ a "T"How about a double home plate. The pitcher throws to the catcher behind one and batter hits off of the T on the other. Also every player gets an MVP award even if they never get off of the bench. Everyone plays in bubble wrap. Jeez people, toughen up a little.
How would that increase? It's the same as running across a regular first base.What happens if someone rolls an ankle on this thing
My understanding is that on a routine grounder, the inside bag is for the first baseman, and the outside bag is for the runner. On a dropped third strike, either bag is available to both first baseman and runner. I'm assuming this accounts for the catcher throwing to first base from foul territory.Can the first baseman use the extended bag to get an out? Meaning, if a throw from the catcher is wide right, can the first baseman use the green bag to get the out, or is it solely for the runner?
I just heard on the broadcast: Another exception is that on a ball to the outfield, the runner will touch the inside bag as they round first.My understanding is that on a routine grounder, the inside bag is for the first baseman, and the outside bag is for the runner.

It's rare but yes (I'm assuming it's following rules I've seen when two are used). The bags switch in certain situations to avoid collisions. Say a dropped 3rd strike that rolls toward first base dug out. But I can't say for sure that's what the SEC will do. They may not be that intelligent if reviews are any indication.Can the first baseman use the extended bag to get an out?

They clarified on the broadcast that outside of a dropped third strike, the defender and runner are limited to one bag each. For example, a high throw causing the first baseman to jump and come down on the green bag is the same as not touching either bag.It's rare but yes (I'm assuming it's following rules I've seen when two are used).

HELL YESWant to try things during the tournament to improve the game? Then let TrackMan call balls and strikes.
I was thinking more along the lines of the 1st baseman forgetting it was there and rolling an ankle.How would that increase? It's the same as running across a regular first base.
