  • Has anyone ever seen an Expert Village Video worth a crap? It s should be Beginner Village, not Expert.

  • @AyoStainFTW Exactly! The quickest path from A to B is a straight line. You banana out before the base thats guaranteed yours safely and you go in straight from 1st to 2nd where it may be close. For an outfield single you banana turn, round 1st base full speed and then slam on the brakes if the outfielder can gun you out, but if he bobbles it you turn and burn stretching a single into a double. If you don't make the turn hard like that you just cost your team a free man in scoring position.

  • @JesusChristRulesYOU becaus if its a close play at second base you will have a better chance of beating the throw and making a better slide as opposed to if you were running on a curve .. Retard

  • That curve is FUGLY

  • that doesnt make any sense, if he hits a double, why does he run outside the line and make a curved run, instead of just running straight to 1st and then turning into 2nd. that video is ignorant. you all need to give your lifes to christianity or burn in hell.

  • thts if ur gunna go for the triple...bc then u take the rounder turn by second and have a straight run at third. But when ur going for 2.. if u do tht.. then ull b running straight at the bag and are ready for a slide if needed... but ya this guy began rounding WAY too early

  • Is this a joke? You rounded way too early. I've never seen it done like that before. Where did this guy play?

  • I thought you catch the inside corner of first with your left foot.

  • You messed up the minute you coined 'The rules...' how about 'Some tips...' 'Some guidelines...' Coaches like you bring absolutes in a sport that is so complex...

  • ustart to round the base 3/4 way there. and u touch the base with the wrong foot. u teach base running. i would hate to have u as a coach NIGGA U SUCK
