I could be wrong but I think our Atlantic weather is a little more difficult to predict. 'Noreasters' and hurricanes for example are notoriously subject to changing course.
I wonder if it's because the weather forecasts are presumably more accurate now. Of course Boston being perched on the ocean can still screw up forecasts.
This is a real hot button issue for you LOL
My question is, shouldn't a guy running to first base basically just be busting ass rather than looking and listening for instructions from a coach?
The first base coach's job generally doesn't start till the guy reaches first, does it? I don't think his job is to yell at guys to run through the bag every time.
