Reply to "Cutoffs"

The catcher is the only player on the field who faces the  field. He should make the cut call. There are times when common sense "Baseball Feel" has to take over so decisions can be made in real time. The more your players practice this the better they will be at it. Redirecting cut's is the catchers job and part of the process. Cut four can quickly turn into Cut two. If a runner is on 2nd base your pre pitch cut call is cut 4 DBL CUT 2.  But lets say the left fielder bobbles the ball and it's clear there is no play at 4. The immediate cut all is redirected to CUT 2. Does the MIF have to be told this by the catcher? Probably if you never work on this part of the game. Waiting to be told what to do or understanding what needs to be done? Moving your feet and being in the proper position to make a play? Some things just need to be done and practiced over and over.
