Matt Hannaford replied to David LeVine's discussion Rule question
"I don't think so. Obviously correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the "appeal" go back to the moment the ball was caught in the outfield therefore making the 3rd "out" happen before the runner even left 3rd base?"

Matt Hannaford replied to Bill Stanton's discussion Who would you play catch with?
"As a former catcher...i'd love to turn it more into a bullpen and catch Tim Wakefield.  I've caught Jack Aker (former Yankee) and even in his late 70s he had some crazy movement and a heavy ball.  I'd love the challenge of…"

Matt Hannaford replied to The CheckSwing Clubhouse's discussion What approach would you have at the plate tonight? Against Lee? Lincecum? Our 5 favorite responses will win a CheckSwing t-shirt!
"I wouldn't change my approach based on the pitcher. Both of these guys are going to want to work ahead in the count so going up looking for a pitch to drive early is very important. My first two ABs I would use my typical zone approach until I…"

Matt Hannaford replied to BA Osgood's discussion Taking the first strike
"1) I think this mostly just comes from the standpoint of trying to get kids to remain "calm" at the plate. If they are told to take the first strike they won't go up and swing at a bad pitch and fall behind 0-1. (which results in the…"

Who is your favorite hitter and why?
Anyone who steps to the plate with a purpose. Hitting a HR every time isn't worth the out. Go to the plate with a purpose and get YOUR job done. Be it a hit, sac, or ball to the right side, just do YOUR job and don't worry about average or slugging...those two will come.
Who is your favorite pitcher and why?
Roy Halladay, he plays the game the right way and is ready for each start like he wants to pitch a perfect game.
Additional Playing/Coaching Info (If applicable, include detailed info here such as - HS, College, Pro Leagues, Summer Leagues, Arm Speed, 60 Time, Catcher Pop Time, etc.):
I've played baseball since I was 6 years old and played in college. My best pop time was 1.78 but due to some arm problems I'm above 2.1 now. I'm just playing for the love of the game and I am starting to get into coaching/managing as well.
