Agree completely, Chip. I like chatter but also players
concentrating on small details that could give us an advantage. Many got really good at it. When I coached, I had a back-up catcher that could steal pitch signs regularly.

Some players excelled at pitchers tipping pitches, outfield throwing mechanics that let us know who we could advance a base on, hitter's mechanics, etc. There's a lot more going on that meets the eyes and ears.
