Confused about the Cole Hamels commercial?

we've all seen it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKIETSxZmOs

ok i got a couple of gripes. am i wrong, or did the commercial writers/directors/whatever mess it up.

1. There is a runner on 1st.

2. 1st baseman isnt holding him on.

3. These both imply that the count is 3-2 with 2 out.

4. Cole throws ball 4.

5. Guys says "keep pounding the corner, get him to chase one outside"

6. Why would Cole want to risk throwing out of the zone with 2 outs?

7. Get him to chase one outside- isn't that what he did anyways throwing upstairs?

8. first time i saw it i thought the "oh no" kid was a girl, did you

ok kinda weird post. help me out everyone!

am i stupid with my observations or did the people really mess things up kinda

    Your dead on on #1-#4, not missing any thing there. The only thing I can think of for the #5-#7 is that the writers are idiots or they wanted to purposely show a fan that doesn't quite know what he's talking about acting like a big league manager because he's wearing the New Era gear.

    I didn't think the kid was a girl.
