Balls / Strikes - Talking to F2 or Batter

[Stan W]

I have had the same experience, basically on the same pitch.....wicked hook...froze the batter, me and the concession stand workers...I called ball.......and then with almost reflex..the word "shoot"...(or something close).....I heard the catcher laugh.......he looked at me, I looked at him....we both knew I kicked it........then he sat down and called for the hook again.........another beauty even better than the one I kicked.........strikkkkkke hree....
