normally i'd agree with this, but i had a coach who was whining about high/low and apparently wasn't paying attention at least on this particular pitch....F1 lets one loose and its easily 2 feet above the batters head, but it makes a sweet sounding, loud pop into F2s glove (the sound associated with a 'good' pitch to some). everyone in the park who was looking even out of the corner of their eye knew this ball was 8 feet off the ground...but that coach yells out "come on! tell me where that missed! are you even watching?" one of his assistants goes "tom, just shut the hell up please. you look like more of an idiot now. lets watch the game."
