Miscommunications

[trademhigh]

Why do they happen so often? Like the announcers on ESPN said (I believe it was John Miller in particular), you would think there would be none considering how often they play with each other.
If you are wondering why I brought up the topic, it is because the Mets had three players (CF, SS, 2B I believe) all really close to a pop-up. Yet, it was dropped. One of them, I think it was Alex Cora, dove for it, yet still missed.

How do miscommunications such as these happen?

Very simple, one assumes that the other guy is going to get it (Since they play with each other). Castillo may have thought the same thing which causes the miscommunication. I don't think the CF was near it to get it, but Cora should be going for that ball until Castillo calls him off.

Remember when you're a kid in little league, and the coach tells you to yell "I got it! I got it!"? Well, as you grow up, that seems immature so you stop calling. Just a theory.

That's exactly what it is I think. If one guy just takes charge and calls the others off that wouldn't happen.

And you know what they say about assuming, don't you? (It makes an ass out of u & eventually me) ...Okay, I got that from the show "Reaper"...

I don't know. Everytime I watch guys catch fly balls, I see them yelling. Maybe that just can't hear each other when it's loud.

"I got it"
"NO! I got it!"
"DUDE! I said I got it!"
"Back off it's almost here!"
"Fine, you take it!"
"Wait, you called it first"
*ball makes a thud in the grass*

Well I remember the coaches telling us that depending on where a ball is hit...certain players on the field can make the call and call others off.When I see the left fielder and the center fielder collide...I get pretty mad.Someone needs to be calling it but half the time they both are and the Center fielder makes the call.Not the left fielder.Apparently they didn't play little league?
