Zone is aways the same for both. I just hinted more directly than you would have. He wanted to quit, I just planted the seed...opened the door for him.
Me: "Hey Bill, tough day huh?"
Coach (Bill): "I'd say so, I'm running out of pitchers"
Me: "Since the score being what it is how about ending it after 5?"
Coach Bill: "If Jason (the other coach) doesn't mind let's end it after this inning"
Me: "Jason, Bill says he's running out of pitchers and wants to end it after this inning"
Coach Jason: "That works for me"
Todays HS game is a varsity game.....got to be better.
