Another - PU that says, after an outside pitch, "Bring em in, pitcher" or after a high one, "Bring em down, pitcher". How the hello do you know she didn't throw it high or outside on purpose?

I only say it if the PU already said it, and the players probably didn't hear him/her. The PU, in my opinion, is the one who sets the tempo on the field. The BU is there to assist. Kinda like dancing: one leader, one follower.
