Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Never trust the umpire.

Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Neve

Summary

This quote suggests that when a hitter has two strikes against them in baseball, they should not rely on the judgment or decisions of the umpire. In this situation, hitters are advised not to assume that borderline pitches will be called in their favor, and instead, focus on being prepared to swing at any pitch close to the strike zone. By adopting this mindset, hitters can better adapt to potentially unfair or inconsistent calls made by the umpire and increase their chances of a successful outcome.

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it -- and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again -- and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
