Catchers should only go out for these reasons

1. crossed up on signs / make sure on same page with signs
2. talk about a scouting report on a hitter
3. adjust how they are going to approach someone that goes against the scouting report

There might be a few more but not too many. The pitcher pitches and the catcher catches. Neither one is a cheerleader or psychiatrist.

Should be the "Golden Rules" for new catchers. Any pitching advice tends to take a pitcher out of the game. Right up there with repeatidly putting down same sign and having the pitcher shake him off 10 times.

Was it Bob Gibson upon being approached by the catcher on the mound who said. " Get back there. The only thing you know about pitching is that you can't hit it"
