I would like the advice to say, within a baseball metaphor, that when adversity comes, you overcome it. This one says, you just do it back to them, right? More like, "sometimes life throws you a curveball, so you just have to keep your hands back and try to drive it." It wouldn't apply to AL pitchers. They'll need their own aphorisms, outside of interleague play.
