OK, Steve had a pet peeve in another thread, so this is one of mine. We do not tell players what to do.
Catchers and pitchers can be told "last pitch" or ""one more", but not "throw it down".
Players may be told not to play with jewelry, not "take it off".
We don't coach, we don't instruct and we especially don't tell players to do anything that might be wrong or hurtful.
