Should you cheer for the first baseman or runner when a routine ground ball is fielded and the runner gets thrown out at first?

==Cheer the fielder first and don't forget the first baseman == Even a routine grounder must be fielded and thrown to the first baseman before an out is recorded. There is really no need to cheer for the runner. More than a few routine ground balls are not fielded properly. Remember the famous Billy Buckner/Mookie Wilson play which many believe cost the Red Sox a World Series title. Position players mentioned in this question must function together - team work -for an out to occur.

It depends on how experienced you are. If you have a long experience and have the right form, you should be hitting fast, hard line drives into the outfield giving you at least a single and at most a triple. If you aren't experienced you are probably stuck hitting slow ground balls directly to the 3rd baseman, 2nd baseman, or 1st baseman. Or you just strike out!
