But do you find she can throw 100 strikes in a row until you say "one more?" Then all of a sudden the safest place to stand is on the plate?

IME, nothing causes a good session to go south faster than saying "one more."

No..lol. She's never even thrown 10 in a row, but getting one to finish a session usually isn't difficult. If she doesn't get it in a few tries we usually just call it a day. The overall body of work is all we really care about, but if it wasnt a great session we just just leave it in the cage. She likes to finish BP with a line drive too. That's all up to her, though.

Yes, it's definitely good to finish on a positive note.
