Outlaw armbands

You can get that with signs as well.

I remember one time my DD 3 was pitching in a tournament. The catcher's signal hand was taped up, so DD 3 misread a sign. It was an 0-2 count, and a change-up right down the middle of the plate. I had a feeling of impending doom as the pitch approached the plate.

Afterwards, the coach, the catcher and DD 3 had an interesting talk. The signs were changed, and DD 3 was reminded that she could shake off a bad sign.

A few games later, coach really wanted DD 3 to throw a certain pitch. She kept shaking it off. Finally he asked her why. Coach was asking for a riseball, and DD 3 didn't know how to pitch a riseball. It was his OTHER pitcher that had a riseball.

Signals can get crossed with signs or with wristbands.
