out of curiousity, did you immediately tell him to go to 2nd? About halfway down the line? I learned that I had better success at getting extra base hits and stretching doubles to triples by immediately telling my runner that I wanted him to advance.

I looked at it from the perspective that I'm halfway down the line, picking up my base coach, and he's frantically waving me on.
