	Baseball Mogul 2004 Help: Strategies Dialog
		A pitchout is a strategy used by the defensive team with a potential base stealer on base.
		Strategy: Pitchouts increase the number of opposing runners that are caught stealing, but also cause the pitcher to get behind in the count more frequently.
		Pitchouts are most useful for teams with a weak throwing arm behind the plate, but good control pitchers on the mound who can fight back from being behind in the count.

	Formation Flying
		They then peel off in sequence (the "pitchout" or "break") and spiral down to a landing in rapid succession, usually staggering their landings across the runway to speed things up.
		In this manner, a flight of four aircraft can start a pitchout "over the numbers" and be completely down and clear of the active runway in under 90 seconds (which is about the time most of us normally take to fly from midfield downwind to half-mile final).
		To avoid this, flight leaders will abort a pitchout and go around if there is traffic further along than midfield on their downwind leg.

		The purpose of the pitchout is to give the catcher an easy ball to handle so that he can get off a quick, accurate throw to second base.
		For a pitcher, the key on a pitchout is to stay compact, quicken the delivery, and throw a four-seam fastball high and away.
		A team that has the opponent’s signals should use the modified pitchout because the opposition is less likely to suspect that their signs have been compromised.

	Fly-by Brief (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		All pitchouts will be towards the fly-by pattern (west) side of the runway (to avoid conflict with normally arriving traffic on the east side).
		The pitchout will begin over the anticipated touchdown zone (or when instructed by tower) with a 2 second interval between each airplane.
		From the beginning of the pitchout by the formation leader "over the numbers" to touchdown by the leader is about 50-60 seconds.

		Pitchouts --------- Overview -------- Version 7 gives you the opportunity to call for a pitchout anytime there are fewer than three balls on the hitter.
		Pitchout results ---------------- Naturally, we have also studied the results of pitchouts.
		Your chances of throwing out a runner are definitely better on a pitchout than on a normal pitch, but the reduction in steal percentage is only about half of what it is when you catch a runner leaning on a pickoff throw.

	Defeat is time of the signs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In his first 13 appearances, the Giants never anticipated a stolen base or squeeze play or signaled for Spradlin to deliberately throw a ball away from the plate, giving the catcher a better opportunity to nab an opponent.
		Thursday, Spradlin got a pitchout sign for the first time - 12th inning, man on third base, one out - and it backfired big-time for the Giants, who were handed a painful 3-2 loss to snap their six-game Busch Stadium winning streak.
		McGwire was intentionally walked his previous two appearances; in fact, in the 10th, he was given a free pass with two outs and the bases empty, and Renteria made the final out.

	Baseball Discussion Group - defending suicide squeeze
		Pitchout Up and In to RH batter to get him to move.
		Just the thought that the defense is thinking about a squeeze worries a coach that he might take the bat out of his team's hands by running a squeeze into a pitchout.
		But if you guess wrong and your pitcher falls behind in the count, your pitcher is eventually going to have to throw a strike which will be very buntable.

		Because this pitch has less movement, there is less danger of the ball tailing into the batter.
		When a pitchout is to be thrown, pitchers should use a four-seam grip on the fastball.
		Good control and lack of movement help them give the catcher a pitchout that can be easily handled to throw out the stealing runner.

	SB Break-Even Points Set Too High? - www.scout.com
		This rule excludes (or needs to be amended) strategies where a "response" is implicated (as in the bunt or even the threat of the pitchout in the steal or suicide squeeze) and the alternatives have expectancies which are close enough to use game theory to "mix up" the strategy.
		Now, it is possible that the hit and run yields about the same expectancy as not using the hit and run (similar to a sac bunt attempt in many cases).
		It would not be correct to use a pitchout on a count like that unless you were like 80% (I don't know the exact number off the top of my head) sure that the hit and run were on.

		Rosey was a classic pass blocker and, on running plays, he could make the blocks that opened gaping holes in the enemy ranks.
		And he could do something few tackles are called upon to do – pull and lead on wide ground plays such as a pitchout to the halfback.
		During the height of Rosey's career, the Giants were enjoying an unusual string of successes with six divisional crowns and one NFL title in an eight-year stretch.

		If a fast baserunner is on 1st or 2nd and you think he might be going on the pitch, you can call for a pitchout.
		Just throwing the pitch high and outside isn't nearly as effective as calling for a pitchout because your catcher will be off-balance.
		Hitting the pitchout button gets the catcher up and in a good throwing position before the pitch gets to him, making it much easier to get a throw off quickly.
