Pitch calling

Call for time and have a chat

Exactly, call time. Catcher wants to know why he's being shaken off. Pitcher wants to know why catcher wants the curve. Maybe pitcher remembers getting hitter out with something else, maybe he's not confident in his curve. Whatever the situation, it calls for communication and a chat.

Catchers are there to suggest if he is shaken off then he puts down another sign.When catchers start getting hung with wins and losses then he can TELL the pitcher what to throw.If a pitcher is not confident with a catchers suggestion then I can probably assure you that his pitch quality will suffer.This is where the manager steps in and gives the players their job descriptions. A good manager will already know his pitchers strength and weaknesses. Then a game plan can be implemented between the pitcher and catcher and everyone is on the same page and thats when confidence starts to build between players . If you want to know who's in charge look to see who's holding the ball when the game starts.It I n

Sorry about "it I n".Dont know what happened. Pitchers should be prepared to pitch ,command ,game plan .etc.If the catcher has to tell the pitcher what to throw then preperation has not been done on many levels.The pitcher has a responsibility to himself and the team to be prepared.Then the catcher can sit back and watch a great game. Nothing like having your catcher on the same page. Catchers are valuable part of the team and are depended on tremendously but if a catcher doesnt know his duties then there is friction between him and the pitcher.So next time you see this scenerio you'll now now why this is happening. Best of Luck Rich
