Jerome's Grandpa: Now, little bit, you're the pitcher, you own this plate! If any batter crowds the plate, you brush him back. Jerome: You mean throw it at him? Jerome's Grandpa: Nooo - just throw it high and inside. He'll move back. And if that doesn't work, then you throw it at him. Jerome: I don't think I'm supposed to do that. Jerome's Grandpa: Nonsense. Nothing shows you mean business like a good beanball. Now how are we going to practice that? George: You mean just stand in the batter's box while Jerome pitches? Sure, my big strike zone will build his confidence. Jerome's Grandpa: Yeah, I want him to work with a big target.
