How is it that in MLB a catcher can call a game, and also in the Minors, but a catcher cannot in softball? I'd be interested if Mr. Hillhouse asked Mr. Coach Klein what to throw when he was active.
Further, Terry Bradshaw called his own plays in the NFL without the help of a coach.

As [MENTION=332]sluggers[/MENTION]What matters is HOW the pitches are called. It is either a collaborative approach or it is not.
And it's not a one time, pre-game assessment of what to throw regardless of what's happening.
if suzy throws a drop-ball and she cant' hit her spots we arnen't going to her third and fourth pitch. We are moving on to the next pitcher if possible.
Pontificating is what this site is all about. And yes, I like to think that I’ve learned a lot from it. Thanks to the pontificators out there for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
She just calls pitches that LOOK like they might have been what he called because they finished in the right spot (subbing fastball up for riseball or outside drop for curve and such). He doesn’t know the difference and never figures it out or catches on. DD calls three no no’s for three different pitchers that way, coach thinks he’s the hero, and the players just smirk at each other all the way back to the parking lot.
And if she did that on my team it would be her last game on that team. It's also sad that you condone it. Not sure what life lesson you are teaching there....
