fingers

[jjb]

Last night: U14 post-season tournament. I've got the dish. The VT coach is a classic PITA.

Now, I'll give the count when something is going to happen: 1-2, 3-0, etc. visual and verbal. Not good enough for this guy. Every other pitch: "what's the count, Blue". Finally, I turned and asked him if he wanted to borrow my spare indicator. His reply: 'I want to see your fingers".

Between innings, I told my partner what he said. My partner suggested "One and One" :GL:

If my partner wasn't the League UIC, I might have taken his suggestion.

Hey Coach, I gotcha' finger for ya' right here...

Well, I'd have been sorely tempted, anyway.

Looks like he's learned Jax's IFF signal.

I would have been tempted to say, "Coach, try and keep up!"
