What is the pitch suggestion - all of you catchers out there??



Start with the fastball (confrontation . .. check!),

then come back with something off-speed (your L's counteroffer ... check!),

then, either a fastball up out of the zone or just off the outside corner (the financial tightening you just spoke of).

If that doesn't do the trick, you finish off the at-bat with either your best fastball, or some "junk" depending on how well they handled pitch #2.
