I BLAME NOLAN CAIN and his horrible base coaching. He killed us early in the season when he was unsure of our talent and way to aggressive. Then when it counts he doesnt wanna screw up so he just does station to station.

EVERYONE knows with a man on 3rd and 1 out...a ball hit to the right side / Pitcher you check to see if he looks...if he doesnt...you run. What does he do, he holds one of our fastest runners at 3rd and instead of having a lead we r tied and he dies at 3rd base.

This isn't on the third base coach. Running on contact with a man on third is a head coach decision. This is called from the dugout before the play by CPM. As for the pitcher not looking that is a split second decision that the coach can't make for the player. If the player thinks the guy didn't look he can go in his own but he better be safe. If you wait for a coach to tell you what to do on a play like that you are out.
