In that scenario…they both pull up short and the ball falls between them…Bad News Bears style. It is the Centerfielders call to make though.
Howevr, as you state…sometimes shit does happen.
When it does happen it is always messy.

If they’re chasing a gapper, neither of them sure whether they’ll get there or not, they won’t call. They wouldn’t want to call for the ball, not get there, and have the other guy not get it either because he pulled up. Sometimes shit happens.

I was working on this very thing last night in the front yard with my 8 year old and 4 year old Daughters. The reason they (outfield collisions) are completely avoidable is because people start working on this when their kids are 4 years old. No joke. We covered this last night. It’s another beautiful day today in the Hoosier state.
When I get home from work…
I fully expect them to whine about NOT doing any hitting tonight cause’ we are doing glove work again.

Maybe the carts were just a smoke screen…

Maddon needs to tell Jennings not to pursue the balls in the gap! Bruce Bochy would approve.

Call for the ball, and the corner guy defers to the CF. 2 rules, that is all.

I’m still not completely over Sheffield crushing Bubby Crosby against the OF wall in Yankee stadium to put the Angels in the ALCS.

The Rays are still a good team without them.

Ok, well, nevermind that last part, but I’m glad to hear they’re ok.

I hope they make out better than Beltran/Cameron.
