Last night I had the dish for a summer wood bat league game.

2nd or third inning with 2 strikes on the batter a pitch comes in which I'm sure looked beautiful from the bench, but was 2 balls outside. Coach yells over to the catcher, "Where was that?"

Before the coach even finished the catcher was yelling back, "Way outside."

I was smiling to myself.

In the 7th or 8th inning a pitch comes in the catcher had set up outside and the pitch was way inside nearly hitting the batter.

The catcher reaches for it but can't catch it and knocks it to the ground.

The coach yells out, "If you catch that it would be a strike."

I turned to the coach, "Not this time, way inside."

He helped me look good, I just wanted to return the favor.

You know what is really bad. When a kid is set up on the outside corner and the pitcher misses so bad the ball comes on the inside corner across the strike zone. Catcher about falls over trying to get to the ball.
