I'm sure they were just trying to get Monte going by getting him a (presumed) get-me-over fastball to hit. I don't think it would work. To my layman's eye, he is jumping at every fastball he sees. Even if he times it right it's 50-50 whether it goes foul down the left field line. He needs to relax and wait a bit more, try to hit the fastball back up the middle or to right center. In any case, he is really messed up again.
