Sorry in advance if I overlooked a thread for this, I didn't see anything in the search results.

While watching a game the other day I heard a new phrase that I liked for a high and inside pitch, but can't for the life of me remember what it was.

I've heard "chin music" before and that's usually what I say, but what are some others?

Duster? Brushback? Purpose pitch?

Whatever it was, it's probably not as good as a Merkle Boner.

I'll never stop giggling about how the Brewers TV announcers wouldn't shut up about "The Big Unit's delivery of the 'high hard one'" whenever Randy Johnson played the Crew.

I can't find it anywhere on the internets, damn it. It must be fairly new, I've never heard it before and it made me laugh at it's cleverness. Oh well, maybe Krukow will say it again soon.

Until then, grab some pine, meat!

i like it when announcers say, "(insert name of relief pitcher) is throwing up in the bullpen"

I used to hate him too, but the last couple years he's grown on me. I do like the "grab some pine, meat" call.

He is pretty much a jackass though, I'll give you that.
