Question

Hey folks,
Anyone have a problem with fulfilling a request to brush the plate? I have never thought twice about cleaning off the dish, and would feel as though I was not doing a great job if the catcher or coach had to ask.

Today in my son's 9-10 LL post season tournament I told the catcher to call time and ask for the plate to be brushed. I had noticed it from the 3B box in the last half. The PU turns to me in the dugout and asks "why"? So from the dugout I say "So my pitcher can get a better look at it". He does the brush then calls "Time" himself and calls me out of the dugout with his forefinger.

He was upset with the request because he thought I was asking him to brush it so HE could get a better view (He apparently though I was chipping the zone he was calling). I had not even thought of that 'till he tells me. BYW it's the bottom of the 6th and we are in jepardy of walking in the tieing run (11-11). Pitcher is struggling to find the zone.

My question is this:
Would you consider this type of request as chipping, or is it some type of chip that I am just unaware of?

Thanks,
SG
