"Your fly is open"

(which a partner once told me at the plate conference - the coaches got a big kick out of it )

Start of plate meeting

Coach: "Boy am I glad we have you two today. We had (John Q. Public) and (John C. Public) and they just aren't very good anymore."

Partner: "Yeah, the game has passed them by."

I shot Death Rays at my partner, and gave him a big lecture after the game on how it is highly likely that that coach would be saying the same thing about him to the umpires at his next game's plate conference.

"Ball/strike......fair/foul........safe/out......belong to us. I don't want to hear a word out of you about any of those calls today."


The amazing thing is I tend to hear this explanation on judgment calls from several different guys each season.
