Are you not supposed to slide feet first when stealing 2nd?

Couldn't see the route.

Feet first is the better way to slide on a steal. The point of the slide is to make sure you stop.
Too often sliding head first causes you to slide past the bag and get tagged out on the other side. To counteract that, a head-first slider has to adjust his speed before the slide, which slows him down a split second.

If that's a strike then Lange is at 15 straight retired

It was bad. He was close to the grass. Which is why he got tagged.

Does the defensive lineup start in the 8th if we don't get another run this inning?

I actually like feet first. Just as fast and less dangerous. I had a friend who was paralyzed going in head first, and it's always been something I hate to see

and its easier to get up and continue running if they have a bad throw or something
Posted on 3/14/15 at 9:04 pm to ell_13
Malone and Hornsby are in the building

The more you know.

Brandon Harris was there last night.

I don't think the old folks around us realize Malone is on the team

I was watching a documentary once (I think it was Ken Burns' Baseball) where they said Tim Raines started sliding head first only because he had vials of cocaine in his pocket and didn't want to break them.

I'm not sure they're wrong

He runs 3.9 to first but can't steal 2B. Awesome
