I am sick of this crap about middle. I pitch and I am tired of hearing, "Sorry Pitch" when someone gets a hit up the middle that isn't even close enough to field.
I feel like saying, "Why the hell are you sorry?" "Did you not want a base hit." Personally, I never say sorry anymore for hitting middle - even if it almost hits the pitcher and he barely gets out of the way. I am trying to get a hit. I am not trying to hit the pitcher.
Don't tell me "sorry" if you almost hit me. As stated a million times, "middle is part of the field."
The only time I will appreciate a "sorry" is if you actually hit me and only if it was on accident. If it was on purpose...don't say "sorry". That way I can apologize to your pitcher before he throws a pitch to me. "Sorry, pitch"....................*bam*
