You are making some great points here and helping me, and perhaps others, to crystallize thinking about the squeeze play. I am going to call it a night now but I will check in tomorrow again if there are any other comments. I have a crucial question about defense . . . oh heck, let me ask it now and save time.

It's this. When setting up a squeeze play, I would imagine that certain defensive alignments are more conducive than others to the success of the play.

So, if you see Corners In, or First/Third In (since you cannot control the direction of the bunt in the game), do you call off the squeeze play? Is Infield In (which includes 1B and 3B) also a bad sign?

Conversely, if you see a Shift, Guard Lines, or IF Deep, do you jump for joy and hit the Squeeze Play button, given the other requirements are in place?

'Night. Talk to you guys tomorrow.
