ironhorse,
Not sure if it's a nuance or a nuisance, but it seems players come to me having learned a habit of always taking two-out leads at second base, even when there's not two outs.
The main reason I don't like it is that I push the running game and when it comes to stealing third, which is a crime of opportunity, when my R2s take two-out leads (a variety of distances behind the baseline, or creeping into the baseline at the last second) when there's only one out, I can't get an accurate read of the distance or quality of their primary lead (or an accurate read of what's going on in their head--are they noticing the P's looks and holds?), which deprives me of opportunities to flash the steal or the green light.
I nag them, but this habit is like damned weeds in the lawn, it recurs.
