Saturday, last game of the night. 14U pitcher is having all sorts of trouble finding my partner's strke zone. It may have been tight, but was not jumping around. She just let the first couple pitches that my partner "missed" get into her head, started overthrowing and couldn't find the proverbial broad side of the barn after that. My partner was hit, both directly and from the catcher's misses I'd say at least 6 times throughout the game. Toward the end of the game, I overhear the girl's coaches in the dugout say something like, "well if he'd get in behind the catcher, he'd have a better view of the zone and not get hit as much". I did not tell my partner about this piece of advice until after the game, but the funny thing was that he told me that he figured out that she was looking at him instead of the catcher while winding up, and after he moved behind the catcher, she started throwing strikes. For the record, I don't think that his shift in posititon hurt is zone at all. By the way, the whole time that the pitcher, catcher, everyone really is *****ing, their team is leading the game. They made an error in the last inning that put the tying run on base, she scored and that's how it ended. AHHH Justice!
