BSM,
I understand that you are a high school baseball player. I understand your intent of trying to outwit the opposing pitcher.
But you need to understand, that you cannot call timeout. You ask for timeout, and the ump may or maynot grant you a timeout.
That's it. End of discussion.
Bluezebra,
It's very ironic that you call a teenager imature. (That happens to a part of their personality) You show your immaturity, by the way you responded to this post as well as others. If you are as wise and as smart as you claim to be, then you would have the ability to respond in a constructive and informative manner. We need to teach these young men whenever the occasion arises not only about the game of baseball, but the game of life. YOU MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE
