re: Little league catcher lays out base runner

Good grief! The catcher made the correct play and I've got no problem with the way the tag was executed. If he stands at the plate flat-footed the catcher is going to get laid out. If he moves up the line but doesn't extend the tag, there is a chance the runner does a spin move or slides before the catcher can react. Blame the coach that thought it was a good idea to send the runner. It's sports ... shite happens!
