I don't think that's what he's saying. I think it's more "throw strikes", "hustle", etc. Some guys mail it in.
Yeah "throw strikes" is the most irritating to me, it's like saying "get a hit" every single time a batter comes to the plate, there are times pitchers just don't have it that day and they can't throw strikes, yet everyone screams "throw a strike" like it's just that easy every single time.
