Verbal Distraction Interference

[btaber]

Thank you all for your input. I appreciate everyone's opinion. I am ashamed to admit in the heat of the moment the thought of "self-policing" it did cross my mind for a millisecond, but I quickly came back to reality. I just reminded my pitcher that they must be worried about him because they are resorting to those tactics, so start the mowing. In retrospect, the added pressure made him a better pitcher and gave him that much more confidence.
