From Jonah Keri’s fantastic profile of Chipper Jones:
Pedro Can’t Stand It, He Knows You Planned It
↵↵... he was facing vintage Pedro Martinez ... took a terrible swing on a changeup early in the game, then sat dead changeup on a 3-2 count later on, got one, and launched a grand slam.
↵↵Willie Mays used to do this all the time, and Greg Maddux set up hitters in a similar way. But “set up” doesn’t really do these stories justice, does it? We need a name for this kind of thing ... I dunno, something along the line of say... “The Ol’ Dipsy Doodle,” only more proactive.
