1st game of the season last year. (10u)

Pitcher is warming up and I tell the catcher to throw it down. Next pitch comes in and he throws it back to the pitcher. I tell the catcher again to throw it down on the NEXT pitch. Pitch comes in and he throws it back to the pitcher.

I look right at the catcher and tell him to "throw it down on the next pitch" Pitch comes in and he throws it onto the ground back to the pitcher.

Coach yells out "Bobby, what are you doing?"

Bobby yells back "He told me to throw it down"

Coach just shakes his head in wonderment.

Must of been a new catcher. A real new catcher. Fun start to the beginning of the season.

Also just a 10 year old kid... that why I tell the kid to to throw it to second (or just say, "second base"). Most of them understand it.

I also am a lot meaner than you are. I give my catchers one chance to throw to second. If they decide not to take it, they lost the chance. I got a game to get over with.

Now a days with MMA fighting being so popular (at least with my boys) you are lucky this little turd didn't square up and try to lock you up in a Mau Tai clinch and rip your ankles off!!!
