Reply to "With runner at second, MIF gives pitcher signal for # of looks"

I don't read that as the MIF's controlling how many looks he should give a runner at second.  I read that to say that by signal, on our team it's verbal, the MIF's should let the pitcher know if they think the pitcher has a shot at getting this kid.  They give an audible signal every time and some of those signals mean look back, wait X seconds then throw without stopping to look...I'll be there.  Or it means don't bother with this guy, look and then pitch.

 

This allows the MIF's to get back to their position in time for the pitch, since they hold the guy on until the last possible minute and the runner is intended to stay close because he doesn't know if they are going to stay with him, or get back to their position.
