    Running Smart And Effective

    So Far its going really well... I'm catching on quite quickly to the different batting style, and the judging of whether or not a run should be attempted is not unlike judging whether a baserunner should attempt taking another base in baseball... watching for fumbled balls is a skill that is...

I tried to commit as much from your guys' tips to memory as possible for tonights practice, as it was a running, and hitting practice, and well... old habits die hard LOL.. first hit I delivered I took off for 1st base instead of straight ahead hahaha... 25 years is hard to break...
