The one thing I try to teach is if you cut the ball then you better go for the runner at 3B. There's no point in cutting this throw and standing there. That accomplishes nothing. If they make the cut then they better make a play on the runner at 3B.
coach2709,
I don't mean to be argumentative, but if I'm reading this right, you have enough faith in your MIF to allow him to decide whether or not to cut the ball, but you don't have faith in his judgment to possibly eat the ball if a play on R3 looks unfavorable? (R3 is almost at home plate, or R3 didn't stray far from third base).
