Great discussion..... thanks! Sluggers - you make valid points and I appreciate your perspective. Stacie helps bring a way to meet the goal of getting an advantage on the lead in a way that the girls can understand that is not telling the girls to cheat, but pushing the limits to if necessary make a mistake being aggressive, vice on the "side of caution".

Yes, I teach my catchers and pitchers they expand the plate as far as blue is calling strikes, though often if expanded one side of the plate, often tighter on the other side.
Difference of blue making an open and honest judgement decision vice us telling the girls to leave early when the blues aren't looking - and I understand the girls know the difference between the game and life. All of us have our opinions and the discussion definitely helps.. thats the intent. Thanks all!
