Mr. Dash

First, let me admit that I've never thought about this situation until this thread came up. I believe I alluded to this by stating that my current Chapter and others I've belonged never talked about this situation or any techniques to deal with it.

Now, to answer your question about getting a pre-opened can of you-know-what.....let me reply with more questions of my own.

First, how many BUs are in your crew PU? Unless you're doing playoffs or doing Triple A ball I would assume there are 2 of you. Next, assuming you've only got a single BU, is he in the A or B or C position? Now, with a runner on 3rd, I would rule out "A". Correct?

Finally, do you mean to tell me that with 2 strikes on the batter, a pitch is thrown and the PU calls a BALL on a check swing that he called defacto you're going to overrule him from the B or C position?

Where am I missing the point? I know I'm dense. I'm a former pitcher.....therefore, I qualify for a mind bailout. Help me out on this.
