Stuff Knights Say



Sniper! - When a player falls down in the field
for no apparent reason as if taken down by a sharp shooter.

One of the best things about being on the field with the Marietta Knights is the baseball talk. As these guys grow, being on the field with them becomes more and more like being with a college or pro team. This is often most evident in their language. Some of it is borrowed from the team's favorite web videos, "(Stuff) Baseball Players Say I & II," and some of it comes from being around the game for so many years. Some is self explanatory and some needs defining. The point of this post is to preserve all of this great vernacular to enjoy many years from now.

Buckets!
Making Buckets! 
Coach is watching.
Coach, can I bunt today?
Coach, can I switch hit today?
I'm totally feeling this start.

Do you guys even know the signs? - When a player has just
been thrown out trying to steal or swings through a take sign.

Dude, this is so swag.

Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, Shooorrrrt - When neither middle
infielder is holding a teammate on 2nd base...there is still no
infielder covering 2nd...Still all clear...the Short Stop is
now moving over to cover 2nd base.   

You're up.
Get down!

Got Heeem! - Used in a high pitch tone when a Knight
makes a play resulting in an opposing player being called
out. May also be used after successfully
pranking a teammate. 

I hate hitting doubles.
Did coach see that?
First swing of the day.
Can we do onfield?
Got to end on a good one.
My two seam is really moving today.
Did somebody mess with my bill?
Who got my seeds?
That's a base knock.

Have you seen Schube's Eefus pitch?

Turnt Up.


Filthy! - When Schubie has just thrown a particularly well executed curve ball. "Sick!" "Dude!" "Buckets!" and
(if the pitch is strike 3) "Got heeem!"may also be used in this case.
