L-Man -
Post #4 "unless I need a stike in that situation"
Post #6 "the batters haven't yet earned the right to be connoisseurs. Swing or sit."
Post #14 "let your gamess move along a lot smoother"
And my personal favorite, Post #13 where the strike zone moves depending on "your current level". I missed that page in my Fed book - in that one the strike zone is the same from 6th grade to Varsity
I accept your apology.
As to "foot outside" that was from a post a couple weeks ago.
My point was, YES we need to get younger players to swing the bat and pitchers to hit the plate. But if a batter has to "earn" the right to not swing at balls, we better be able to call that trapdoor curve a strike and spectators be damned. After all, my best friend on the field the CATCHER knew it was a strike to - and I've never seen a spectator or a rat come out and throw themselves in front of high close one to keep me from getting hit!
Thanks for listening and for the responses - this is a terrific group of professionals!
