best catch execute game kept lucky stay suggestion throw yelling
For me, I put down the best suggestion I have and they throw it. They still have to execute the pitches. I kept yelling at Freddy, 'Stay aggressive. Stay after them.' That's all I can do. It's their game all the time, so I'm lucky I get to catch these guys.
