In all but the 3rd picture, the subjects are stationary, and even in that one it's just the baserunner who's moving relative to the camera.  Between that and the f5.6 for a deep depth of field, I'm curious as to what benefit C-AF would provide over S-AF?  Seems like S-AF would work just as well.

These shots seem to be more about getting the focus point correct (ie not accidentally focusing on a background element) than what focus mode was used.

Honestly curious as I'm experimenting with the different modes on my new-to-me GX7, whereas I always used S-AF on my old G3.
