PU-Throwing Ball Back to Pitcher-Let the Players Play the Game

[briancurtin]

I think we've covered this a number of times in the last few months, but I will only throw the ball back if the catcher is busy with something else. If he takes a hard foul ball that glances away, I'll step out and throw a ball out, brush off the plate, and let him get a breather.

Where possible, I let the catcher throw it, and I try to have a fresh one ready before he even gets his hand or glove up.
