The DC came down from thrid base and said---WHAT DID YOU DO? I said, Coach, I think you already know what I did-I messed up real bad. HE shook his head and said, I can't argue with you there. The next pitch, the batter hit a double-WHEW.

About WHEW. I know that feeling. Yesterday, a batter convincingly claimed CO, but neither of us saw any contact so we had to keep her at bat. Two pitches later, she hit a triple.
