How to handle it...

Here's the wind-up...and the pitch -

PU: Ball!

Coach in the Dugout: Where was that?

PU: Not over the plate.


I was at Wrigley a couple times this year and clearly heard a couple of those monsters say, "Ball, outside" or "Ball, low" and almost peed my pants. I was with a few guys who have been at it for a long time and we couldn't believe it. How long has Tony Larussa been watching pitches? He should be able to tell how his catcher caught it. Is it below the knee? Whether it's outside or below the knee, what difference does it matter, he called it a ball. I love those coaches that say, "That wasn't low, so it had to be outside." Thanks coach, I hope mensa has you on speed dial for the one's that they can't figure out.
