Both of our diamond coaches do it every single game, and justifiably so . . . Should be used to it by now. When it happens, a fan should say, well we are trying to manufacture a run with one hit. In a sport when .333 is a good number, what are the chances of getting two hits in a row . . . Minimal at best.
But she didn’t steal on the pitch, she hesitated. And I’d have to check, but I don’t think the runner is a true base stealing threat. And I do understand softball strategy.
I’ll admit, after checking stats, the pinch runner is a legit base stealing threat. But there was some hesitation, so something got her confused. I still would not have run in that situation and let Heath have a chance to hit a 2 run homer.
