You can not teach a batter to hit a homerun but you can teach a batter to bunt.
Small ball kills!

I once overheard a woman say the following; I'd never date a pitcher because they always want to dink around on the outside. I'd want them to just get in there and pound it.

Probably my favorite verse from "IF" by Rudyard Kipling www.kipling.org.uk/poems_if.htm"If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: |

Oldtimers games and airplane landings are alike. If you can walk away from them, they're successful.
Most games are lost, not won.
