It was after that day that I switched to a simple, "rike!"
Luckily we dont play softball in a gym.


Add me to the list of Loud Strike Calls.. and I throw the hammer.

The goal is to send em to the dug out crying.

I've never been dinged on my strike call, and I've been dinged on everything. Hell I've been dinged for doing stuff I got dinged for not doing, but never heard "your strike call is too loud".
