That's the way to do it!

Say, what's the matter with you? angrily demanded Luke Fodick of one of his best batters.
human
What do you want to fan for?
gpt
Couldn't help it, I guess, answered Bob rather sheepishly.
human
It was a curve.
gpt
Well, don't you know how to handle them by this time? fairly snarled Hiram, who was closely watching every player.
human
If you don't know how to hit out a hot one you'd better go back on the scrub. Don't do it again.
gpt
I'll kill the next ball!
human
Strike!
gpt
Wha--what?
human
I said strike. It was right over the plate.
gpt
Plate nothing!
human
What's he doing, calling strikes on you?
gpt

Well, say----
gpt
Hold on now! interposed Luke, who sometimes had better judgment than Hiram.
human
It's all right. Don't get excited. It may have been a strike. The fellows haven't got on to all the points of the game yet this season. Go on.
gpt
All right, growled Hiram.
human
But don't you dare strike out, Nat.
