OT, but this reminded me of a game this fall...

16U fall ball. Should have had a better catcher (not to mention pitcher) at this age, but...

After taking a hit off the hand from a low pitch bouncing up, moving my hand behind my knee and then taking two more off the cup.... that would be why I flinched on the next low pitch!
And that's also why we flinch early in the next game, sometimes. Takes a while to rebuild some trust in a catcher after taking repeated shots.

I had one of those games a year ago, after getting hit the third time I told the catcher "catch those pitches." She said something about how she was trying. I responded with, well try harder.

And there's always the HS playoff game I had this year. Good pitcher & catcher - both are on decent or better college teams now. First pitch of the game was a drop. It hit the dirt at about 38 feet & then bounced solidly off the cup.
