Re: Catchers too slow to pounce on blocked balls in dirt

I think if they just tone down the jump runners get on balls in the dirt it will fix most of the problems. Catchers don't seem to react fast enough because by the time they do, the runners super jump makes the play not close. If runners actually read that the ball is far enough away and then decided to go or not, it would cut down the wild pitches being attributed.

I do agree that sometimes the catchers take their time and then lollipop the throw, especially on plays to third.
