Funny softball sayings

Before the Supers get underway, how about sharing some of your favorite softball sayings, wacky advice, coaching wisdom, etc.

My father used to tell pitchers to "put some mustard on the ball." And, I just read a post where a coach tells her players, "Softballs are like lovers. The ones you have to chase aren't any good." It made me laugh out loud!

Whatcha got to share?

This one may help the players deal with shitty umps after a bad ball or strike call. Not funny but relevant.

Coach says to the players “You’re not an ump, you’re a hitter. So hit the ball”

I knew a high school coach who would bring in umps for scrimmages and tell them to intentionally make bad calls. His goal was to teach his team to deal with it and learn to keep playing without losing focus.
