Aggressive base running
Last night we ‘captured’ at least 3 bases with aggressive base running and one was at the plate. (Rohs) This tactic is unacceptable to many here when called out. Is it still unacceptable when called safe? Seems this tactic is used by many ranked teams esp. Stanford , Duke, FSU just to name a few. The ‘tactic’ works well against mid major programs and ACC ‘also rans’ like NC State.

The tactic is not "unacceptable" to many here
