With absolutely no fear of using the same cliche, they echo the phrase that the players finally are making their annual salary drive in a last-ditch effort to soften the blow of a pay cut in their next contract.

A pitcher, even a great one, can strike out a batter three times with a letter-high fast ball on the inside of the plate.
