Reply to "Holding Runner on 3B!!"

Holding a runner on 1B with a runner at 2B usually looks bad. Maybe the only reason would be if the runner at 1B represented the winning run with two outs and a full count.

Holding a runner on 3B always looks bad. When I see it I always think someone doesn't know what they are doing. If there is reason to hold that runner you play closer to the bag. Getting in the first baseman hold runner position at 3B just looks awful.
