I tell them all, "Guess fastball." You can adjust to a curveball, a knuckleball, a slider, or a change off the fastball, but it's tough to guess a curveball, a knuckleball, a slider or a change, and then hit the fastball. I believe most pitchers will throw the fastball six out of ten times. So six out of ten times I'm sitting on dead red and knowing I still have a chance at the others... You can count the good breaking-ball hitters in this league on the fingers of one hand -- well, the fingers of two hands. We're all fastball hitters in the end.
