I whole-heartedly agree with you. I know that LL a few years ago disallowed the "swing batter" chant. Just this past summer in 19U, the catcher was talking up that my son was a "first pitch taker." Often this is the case as he hits lead-off and likes to see a few pitches to give the rest of the line-up what he saw. I think it irked him so that he either ripped the first pitch down third or bunted the first pitch for a hit. Most of his conversations approaching the dish have been pleasantries w/ the umpires.
