I agree. I asked Coach about it once and he said the runners are safe more than out. I don't get it. I swear they are out more than safe.


I'm sure he was talking about base hits too.. which obviously the runner going on contact is safe.

But the runner is out most of the time on balls stopped by an infielder.

Wasn't Renfroe the gay bat played by Chris Elliot on Saturday night live?

Well if you are going on contact, you have no idea if it will be a hit or an out.

Depends on if the infield is in or not.

For the corners, yeah, but it's usually pretty damn difficult to gun a guy down at home from 2B or SS, which is the whole reason why they get drawn in for some situations.

If as a runner on third you hesitate to make sure ground balls get by the pitcher, then often that hesitation will allow the infielders to gun you down at home.

I'm not defending how often LSU goes on contact, but it's a legit play in many situations.
