Pet Peeves by TV Announcers

teebob21, one of my pet peeves by TV announcers. I can guarantee that you have never or will never be hit by a "foul tip".

AFA the bottom of the strike zone, you can look at how F2 catches the pitch. If the mitt is up at the knees, you can usually sell a strike. If F2 had to turn the glove over or sideways, ball. You can also gradually expand your zone until you hear some chirping and that is a pretty good judge of the bottom that most will expect. Remember, coaches like strikes at lot more than balls.
