Phrases We Like: Baseball edition

I have a baseball game on, and the announcer just used the phrase "dead red," and I really like this phrase. Not just because it rhymes and is vaguely metal, I just like how it evokes a certain baseball situation effectively, crisply, and, yes, does so in a rhyming and metal fashion. I encourage you to post baseball phrases you like. Some others of mine include:
-Southpaw (I like dogs);
-Showing bunt;
-Can of corn (involves [Midwestern] food);
-Rope, as in to "rope a line drive" (really like that Hitchcock movie);
-chin music (I like music);
-wheelhouse (sounds like a shoegaze band; is it?).

I'm not counting Jose Canseco and Mark Grace phrases like "road beef" and "slump buster."
