Nice play. Reminds me of those old Ron Fraser coached Miami teams. They put on some great ruses.

Falls in the if it's your team that pulls it off, you love it, if it's not you deride it as cheap and juvenile.

It's accepted as ok. Always felt kind of bush league to me, but it's part of the game.

If I'm coaching little-league/minors/ozone, etc, I love it. If SC pulls it in a game, I smile and wince a little at the same time. I'll take the out, but it feels like a cheap/gimmicky way to get an out/a win/etc. JMO. To see clempson do it to Coastal - I feel bad for Coastal and embarrassed for clempson - LOL!

I don’t understand why there wouldn’t be timeout called after every batter / base runners advance. I get it based on the rules of the game, but I’d be coaching my team to call time every time a runner advances to prevent this stuff.

I thought it was pretty cool at first, but upon reflection, I think it's stupid and it shouldn't be legal.

I think the third base coach ought to feel foolish.

Agreed. That was a lot of deadtime between the end of the play and the tag. Why wasn't time called?

Everything they do is Bush League. People behind home plate with distractions for pitchers, hidden ball tricks, guys in the outfield faking like they have the ball to make runners go back to 1st.
