In the olden days, the umpire didn't have to take any courses in mind reading. The pitcher told you he was going to throw at you. ↗

The job of arguing with the umpire belongs to the manager, because it won't hurt the team if he gets thrown out of the game. ↗

You had to pitch in and out. The zone didn't belong to the hitters; it belonged to the pitchers. Today, if you pitch too far inside, the umpire would stop you right there. I don't think it's fair. ↗
