They say she has the yips? Why haven't we stolen every base but home?
Is there no other catcher on the team?

Her yips only seem to be throwing to the pitcher. She threw out two A&M runners in yesterday's game when they tried to steal.

Thank you
We didn't watch yesterday's game.

Nice article about the yips of the BU catcher.

I had to deal with it in high school after being hit in the head made me overthink everything. The easy throws to first from SS were a nightmare. The easier the play, the more time to think about the throw, the more you start to think about the ball in your hand which leads to aiming, and then it just goes wherever it goes. With quick plays that are more difficult, you make the play instinctively without having enough time to think about it. Which is why this catcher can make the throws when someone is trying to steal. A tough play in the hole was more likely to get an out than a couple easy hops right at me. I had the same with pitching, but worse, since there's no ability to not overthink it. Just grab and throw was the only chance.

It's a horrible thing for a player to have to go through. Once you get it, it's almost impossible to get past.

I feel for the girl and kudos for finding a way to over come it but it was one of the craziest things I've seen. When there is a runner on third either the pitcher has to go in every time or when the bases were loaded the first baseman came down to home so she could take the ball out to the pitcher after every pitch. Gotta be hell on the road. Fans in this league are gonna be all over that.
