Base running is kind of a lost art in baseball for quite a while. I can’t think of a good base running team in the league. It’s not even taught right these days. It’s a shame. You see teams lose game on bases.
100% accurate.

It's a shame...it's so intrical to the game, yet these softball players don't know or understand or care to learn the art of running, stealing & sliding.

I had the pleasure of watching Rickey Henderson’s career. The human rain delay. And when he stole second it wasn’t over and the delay continued. When the A’s were on the road you had to tune in on time Rickey’s leading off.

Gone to some minor league games and the pitcher can only throw over three times l shit you not. I was like WTF and Issac’s(Jakes college teammate)mom said they can’t even step off the rubber as counts as a throw over. Of course this is a trial to speed up the game.
