Watching game 3 of Michigan/UCLA. If anyone thinks the college players are better fundamentally, they are crazy.
On one recent play, there were THREE blatant mistakes. Michigan runner on first. He gets caught leaning (mistake one) and UCLA pitcher fires to first. Runner heads toward second as UCLA cannot execute rundown (mistake 2) and runner slides heads/hands first into 2nd (mistake 3) and is safe, but game is delayed 10 minutes while runner's bleeding/jammed fingers have to get taped up. Who teaches these fools to slide head first? A baseball players hands are too important; its all about hand/eye coordination. Never slide head/hands first.
