It’s not running the bases that gets them hurt. It’s the part where they crash into the catcher. It’s like fear of flying. It’s not flying that your afraid off. It’s crashing.
For me, it's knowing they can't make it but they're hustling enough to think they can. Bad things can happen when your third base coach doesn't know, or recognize in the heat of the moment, the runner's limitations. On occasion, the third base coach has got to just stop that rumbling old man comin' around third. A good 3rd base coach has better judgement than Sendley.
