No doubt there is a lot more to pitching than just "pitch call" and
"throwing a pitch." My point is that I'm not down with blaming the pitch caller because Mazz often misses too far outside the zone when ahead in the count. There is zero chance Josh is calling for her to miss that badly because it doesn't help anyone. The goal is to throw something that looks like a strike when it gets delivered but doesn't hit any part of the plate. And Mazz has yet to master that, which we agree on.
