Couple of years ago I'm the PU and the OC starts chirping about balls and strikes in the first inning. I ring up a batter on an outside corner pitch. First pitch to the next batter is at the same height but further outside and I call the pitch a ball. OC yells from the third base coaches box "C'mon Blue, that was right where the last pitch was, get consistent." I responded: Ok Coach, you talked me into it, strike one! Zero balls, one strike! Catcher is cracking up, batter is close to a heart attack and the OC is about to explode. As the OC is heading for the plate area I say: Just kidding on the count Coach, but this warning about the chirping is no joke, knock it off!
