Got ya, that I'm familiar with. I used to use something similar tagging up to home in softball. On shallow balls that you can't possibly score on, just stand on the bag looking disinterested. The instant the outfielder (almost always) lobs the ball in, I'd take off. The bases are only 60 feet in softball and I could run in my day, never failed. A few times I probably should have been out but the element of surprise would draw a poor throw home. Most times it was a stroll in the park.
