I've been there. Your first reaction (as a runner) is to put your elbows up (to ward off the collision).

I don't think he took it too well at first. But hey, he's a typical 15-, 16-year-old. I think he's fine with it.

Those two things could come into collision, and cause you to get faster hiring in the first part of the year, then have it catches up with you later,

I really wasn't arguing in the first place. I was asking whether the runner was in the baseline. I was upset that my player was in so much pain. End of story.

I wasn't surprised ... there's many situations where the runner on first runs in those situations.

Something about the Reds and Pirates and me.
