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

For the reason given in the original post:

"This will give the middle infielders a solid idea about when or how long to hold the the runner at second bases and when to retreat back to their position. It will also provide the pitcher with a plan for varying his looks and counts between each pitch. page 145"

Those seem like good goals. But I don't want to do anything that could disturb my pitcher's rhythm. Having the MIF dictate the pitcher's looks and holds does carry that risk, IMO.
