| 2009-09-25 | don | 8 | 8 | 8 | 10 | No | Many scientific studies done by the Institute Of California, as well as independent studies by Major Division 1 Colleges can refute your facts. They have proven that the left foot touch, because of the centrifugal force of the right leg swinging toward the next base and the fact that you run the bases in a counter clock wise order, increase speed. The left foot is the preferred foot, but I accept the majority of opinion that the most important thing is to touch it. Don |

| 2009-06-11 | Will | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Perfect Rick, the only exception would be if an Umpire mistakenly grants a time-out prematurely (which has happened) the call must stand. Thanks again |

| 2009-04-24 | Tracy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Kind of what I thought, but you added the part of initially setting up between 3rd and home to see where the throw was coming. Good thought. Thanks!!! |

| 2008-11-14 | David | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Rick for the advice and about the pitches i only know how to trow a 2-seam fastball,4-seam fastball and a sinker. |
| 2008-09-09 | Alex | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you so much for your response. I never thought much about stretching and warm up before but that makes sense. None of my high school coaches told me anything other than just hustle which is important. I really can not wait 4 baseball. THe only downside is that Auburn has no club baseball or intramural so its all or nothing here. |
| 2008-09-01 | Bernard Turner | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | I digress, this is a great lesson for me and the others who were a part of this dispute, especially those who were on my side (wrong!!). I later saw that you had answered a similar question with the same answer. I will be sure to share this with the men who were a part of this discussion. |
