Tipping the Batters



I was the first base coach of my team in the competitive fastball league.  In the playoffs, we were playing Micksburg.  They have one of the best pitchers in Ontario.  I could see the signals of the catcher to the pitcher.  So I told the guys that I would tip them when a rise ball was coming.

It didn’t seem to help, we still lost 3 games to 2 but we didn’t strike out as much in the games I was tipping the batters.

When I told Laura about tipping the batters, she thought that was just like in the movie "Bull Durham".
