Pitching coaches and pitchers have their own language and sayings to get the message across. One day, somebody should come out with a bilingual dictionary. See if you can translate the messages. I'll post the gist of the messages in another post in the future...if there's any interest.
Here's just a sample of some of the cleaner ones:
Sit and drive...land at a 45
Push, pop...over the top...leaves you with pep in your step
Shoulder to shoulder makes your pitches bolder
Pitching to a dime makes the hitter bitter
Pitch it right makes the work slight as opposed to...
Pitch it wrong makes the game long
And you thought it was just "throw strikes", "in and out-up and down...keep 'em off balance" or my favorite hum babe, rock 'n fire.
