d8 posted:1. General rule is 3B, P, 1B we are staying and reading what happens. Up the middle to SS or 2B we are running.
2. Infield in and we are swinging. We see the ball through.
3. Bunting, we are usually safety squeezing and we play that 2 different ways
4. With runners at 2nd and 3rd, we are running on contact.
Whether the infield is in or not, I'm always running on contact with R2 and R3. We cover this a lot, so the batter also understands that his job is to be hustling hard out of the box with the idea that he is headed for second. Worst case scenario is that we still have 2nd and 3rd occupied when it's over. In fact, we might even score R2 on the play if things work out right.
