Hijacked the below statement from Mike. It was posted as
a reply to another individual, but works great here. I
was prepared for the mill of the run HS fall game, but I
got a Gem.
"we do it anyway because we know that for all the lousy games, there is going to be some great ones just around the corner."
Finally got that one good game out the Monday night HS fall ball.
Two very good pitchers, both play on 18U gold teams. Both throw no-
hitters. However, one of them has a freshman catcher that has not
really learned to handle this type of pitcher and she loses 2-0
on D3K's. Catcher must have missed 10 pitches. Coach from other team
was even hollaring when I would call it a strike and catcher could
not catch it. So I lost him too.
Coach keeps saying all sorts of things about strikes, balls.
Finally I ask him if we are discussing the strike zone. He saids,
"Well, what do you think I am talking about?"
"Coach, you got anything in the dugout that you need?"
"No, why?"
"Good, then you can exit straight out the gate behind you."
I would probably still be calling the game if losing pitcher had
had her regular catcher.
