OK 2B i need sum help.
OK uhhh... I need to learn all the nuances of infield play.I don't mean stuff like "move closer to bag when runner on first no outs", i mean stuff like after the play, when they are throwing the ball around what do I do?
 I am 15, I started playing last year and I will be starting 2B this upcoming season. Basically I wanna know anything that guys who know what they are doing know.

After you throw a guy out, point to the sky like it was all god's doing. Maybe you could even give a Kirk Gibson fist pump after the throw. That should go over well. Make sure you have a can of chew in your back pocket to complete the ballplayer look. Sometimes, if you know a player on the other team, you can even get a game of tic tac toe going in the dirt from inning to inning. The dirt swipe with your foot, the spit and rub in the glove, and the grabbing of your crotch are all staples.  Umm...ok, jk about all of that. What exactly are you asking though?

You need more help in the grammar and spelling department than you do playing second base.

I've seen a lot worse grammar than his around here. He was being colloquial, so he shouldn't be judged by the usual standards we apply, or at least have applied since we completed our graduate courses at Oxford.
But, the issue may well be credulity and consideration. How do you start playing baseball on a competitive team at age 15? Is this recreational ball? A high school team? And you really should be clear about what you're asking, and why. If you're new to the game, what happens when the ball is being thrown around after the play is the last thing you should be worrying about. The magnitude of what you likely need to know for baseball being played at your age is pretty great. You probably need a book on high level infield play. Does anyone here have a book recommendation on infield play for the BlueBleeder (Tommy Lasorda Jr.???) here? Then, if you're still mystified about a specific point, go ahead and come back here to ask questions. And don't rag on the Tigers; they do better on a dollars-per-win basis than the Dodgers do.

It's a good book you should read it even if you aren't a dummy. If you like Baseball you should get this if you don't have it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/076...lance&n=283155And sorry about the ambiguity of the original question.

Ahem, if I may. If people do around the horn, just follow in the formation. But when there are men on base, around the horn shouldn't be an option. The around the horn is a way players keep thier arms flexible. And all you Tiger haters up there, you guys are correct in your statements

Ok, I'm sorry about my post. I make some or "sum" grammar mistakes sometimes. I just think that you should not do it on purpose to save time. It makes threads harder to read.
