A Saturday night laugh---"STRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE"

[Mountaincoach]

So I was at a 14U tournament today. The PU was entertaining, to say the least. Take a big deep breath and say the word "STRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE" until you literally run out of air completely. I mean this dude literally strung it out for 10-12 seconds. Every kid on the field was smiling. The games had a 90 minute time limit. I quickly realized it was actually 60 minutes, with an allotted extra 30 minutes for him to say the word "STRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE" multiple times.

Here's the funny part and the take-home lesson for you guys who like to say the word strike for an eternity. He missed a few obvious balls and mistakenly called them strikes. I mean really high and outside balls that weren't even close. We could tell he knew he missed the call immediately because it was the only time he said a quick and sharp "STRIKE". So keep it consistent if you're going to empty your lungs completely with each called strike.
