If a LHB is up, the SS covers the bag, so that is the "gap" in the field that the batter would be best suited to drive the ball if it were possible.
But like I said, thats a perfect world

Right, but you have made the blanket statement that with a LH at the plate SS covers and with a RH at the plate the 2B covers. Couldn't be more incorrect on that one. Changes all the time. That is why infielders talk to each other and give each other signals.

maybe in HS at high level with better pitching, hitters are taught to put the ball on the ground. If it's a fastball away, the SS is likely covering the steal anyway and a sharp hit ball to 2B is still a DP possibility

No hitting behind the runner is taught in pro ball at every level. You are describing a run and hit. Where are you being taught this method?

While it may change, I almost always notice this pattern myself

Generally its true, but not always.

But the changes are calculated ones based on pitcher and hitter. They are not arbitrarily made. In the case last night the 2nd baseman went to cover which indicates UCLA wasn't completely aware of Raph's tendency to go to the opposite field.

Percentages say ss covers 2b when lhb at plate. Who was your coach?
Posted on 6/17/13 at 5:31 pm to PurpleAndGold86
With a guy throwing 82 mph sinkers in major college baseball the if covering will almost always be the one that the batter has to hit to the opposite side.

I don't know why people think the hitter's sole objective on a hit and run is to punch it through the vacated position at 2nd base.
It's not the sole objective but what most of us were taught throughout our playing days. You'd have to read Coach's entire quote on the subject. It does sound like he was thinking ahead which changes some of the dynamics.

What? A hit and run makes even less sense there after the pitcher just threw 4 straight balls.

No, it doesn't change all the time. There are instances where the SS will cover with a right handed hitter or a second baseman with a left handed hitter but there are variables to considered and its a rare enough occurrence that its usually noted by an astute announcer.

1) swing the bat
2) make contact
3) hit the ball on the ground
4) hit the ball on the ground hard
5) hope you hit a hole
Rhymes did what he was supposed to do...it was bad luck.

2000 championship game vs Stanford, bottom of the 9th, tied at five with runners on 1st and 2nd Skip allows a 1-12 Cresse to swing away with no one out. Where were the skip haters???

This is actually true. He was playing in closer than normal. If Rhymes hadn't been bunting on the first 2, he would have been back behind the bag and Katz would have easily been safe at second and we would have tied the game.
No he wouldn't have. I wasn't at the game, but I guarantee you as soon as Katz got on base the entire ucla dugout was telling the third baseman to play the bunt. You know why? Because the bunt is the right call there.
