The modus operandi is this: -- Suppose you want a low ball and you ask him to give you one...in comes the ball just the right height, but out of reach for a good hit...in comes another, just what you want, save that it is too close...This goes on until he sees you unprepared to strike, and then comes in the very ball you want, and perhaps you make a hasty strike and either miss it or tip out.
