Pitcher, catcher, anyone on defense that you consider of authority: Hey, Blue.
Umpire: Yes, sir/ma'am
Defense: Walk him/her
Umpire: Okay, batter, walk.
Now, if you want to tick off the umpire by throwing three lousy pitches, knock yourself out. Just note, if there is stealing and there are runners on base and the ball gets away/by the catcher.........
