thats ridiculous. where is the harm? why shouldnt he do it?
maybe, maybe a guy gets to third on that play. probably just is safe as second because felipe could adjust in time to keep the ball near. for the 30% chance you give it with basically no severe consequences, it is worth a try.
You'd want him pulling that stunt in a close game? If it was a close game and he blew that toss, thats two guys on the corners rather than, worse scenario, a guy on second and a guy on first. You don't pull that sort of crap in close games. You are better off playing it safe than making circus style catches and throws. Again, he came up with it but I guarantee you would be screaming bloody murder at him if that throw went anywhere but the catcher's glove.
That is not a basic play and should never be a basic play. Its a fluke play you can put no reliance on. What are we? The Harlem Globetrotters? Come on. I can see the coach now, "Now I want you to snag this ball and then throw it behind you. Don't waste time looking where your throwing it, just throw it." Yeah, we will have a lot of wins with that.
