If any one of those parts is lax then you're giving the other team the opportunity to score runs off you, and rules tend to be skewed to help the offensive side by default so you have to be doubly on top of it. It's a game where the pitcher on the mound has to weave through everyone who comes up to the plate or risk getting fucked.
