Dakota,

When I have a pitcher giving exaggerated expressions send a message to the pitcher through the catcher. Conversation goes something like this:

Myself: As I dust the plate, "catcher...I know we are all part of the show, but you could let your pitcher know that I am the critic evaluating performances during this show, and if she doesn't stop overacting I will have no other choice than to end her performance. Please hustle back after talking with her. Thank you."

That usually takes care of it.

Michael

Michael,

I like that better than what I been using...I may "borrow"
that next time I have the situation.
Will send you your check if I use it.
