I've had partners do similar. "We're gonna work really hard for you. We're gonna do this... We're gonna call this, this way..."
That's the way partner - stretch my neck out there so some childish coach can chop it off. Thanks Buddy.
I've been known to respond "After all of that, I'm not sure what my partner is going to do. But, I'm going to have a great game. I hope you do too. Good luck! Let's play ball."
Usually gets a smirk from the coaches and a broken-hearted, dumb-founded look from my partner. Duh! You idiot, don't be expecting me to live up to your ding-bat comments. You're setting us up for failure.
Aargh! Sorry BITS, your comments just struck a nerve.
All's better again.
