This guy is hanging so high over the base that he's never going to be able to get a hit on an inside pitch. Latoshiba is worried that the defending champions are going to try to get him on base. They're going to use every weakness they have against him, and he can't afford to let them get away with it. He tells the pitcher to go after them and throw with all his heart. The first pitch is coming fast and it's a foul one. The second one is coming too late and it looks like it'll be tough to hit on the inside. He's worried that he won't have enough time to throw a good pitch. He doesn't know if he can just stand there and let the whole thing fly by.
