excel, That's how Keith Hernadez played the game...

Hernadez talking to Jesse Orosco in the 16th inning of the 1986 NLCS game 6 against the Astro’s, overruling his catcher in the mound conference.

Ordinarily, Mets First Baseman Keith Hernandez drops by the mound to counsel the pitcher, but this time he addressed Carter. "Kid," he said, a perfectly natural nickname for a 32-year-old catcher, "if you call another fast ball, I'm coming to home plate, and we're going to fight." Seven sliders later, none of them especially close to the strike zone, Bass struck out fishing.
