I have come to the conclusion that coaches come out and ask questions that they already know the answer to just to get in your head.
I had a coach come out to me the other day. I was working the dish and had just finished ringing up his last batter of the inning. He came out and said, in a friendly tone, he didn't know what to tell his players. He claimed they had never seen a strike zone like mine and didn't know what to do. I wanted to laugh but I just said to him that I call it the same for both teams and they don't seem to be having a problem with it. His team was down by four runs.
I also had a coach come out to me in right field after I had called his player out at 1st on a banger for the 3rd out. He got up close and said to me "What did you see?" I said "I saw the ball get to the base before the runner did." He says "Do you want to know what I saw"? I said" Nope, not interested."
What did he think I was going to say? Like I said, they do it just to get in your head.
