When you set your pitching machine up it malfunctions the entire practice and pitches in the center of the strike zone(the area where your batters are already very profecient at batting). At the end of that practice did you enhance your players ability to bat against the low and away pitcher? No you did not.

You're arguing nonsense, nothing more.

Yes, any idiot can see that if you "try" to school a dog one way, but it doesn't work out, that the dog wasn't schooled the way you hoped. But that's not what we're talking about.

The whole point is when it DOES go the way you want it to, so to argue some freak exception where "the pitching machine doens't work" is just wasting time talking nonsense.

When I set the pitching machine up to pitch low and away, and it works the way it's supposed to, then I am schooling my batters.

Now if you want to then argue that the "pitching machine" and not me (the coach) is schooling the batters ... well, then here again you are just babbling nonsense, to make noise I guess, but you are missing the entire point of the dialogue.
