Excellent add on Hugo! Sometimes though, a situation arises where the "chat" comes in handy.

I'm the PU in a tight game with the bases loaded and with a full count F1 walks in the go ahead run on an inside pitch. DC requests and is granted time and comes to me and our conversation went like so:

DC: I’ve only had one defensive conference, right?

I pull out my lineup cards and confirm that she had one defensive conference in the third inning.

DC: By the way, that was a horrible call on that last pitch.

Me: It sure was, your pitchers been missing inside all day, I'm surprised the pitching coach had her go inside on a 3-2 count with the bases loaded.

DC: You're not catching my drift.

Me: I caught your drift and you caught mine. It's time to play ball.
