It's something that coaches at every level of the game tell their players in hopes that they will swing a little bit harder--knock the cover off the ball! It's not something they expect to actually happen. Against the Pittsburgh Pirates Friday Milwaukee Brewers reserve catcher Martin Maldonado took the saying a little more seriously.
He did knock the cover off the ball--literally.

When something like this happens you'd expect the ball to go pretty far, but this one didn't make it out of the infield. Pedro Alvarez did his best trying to throw the ball to first, but there was no way it was going to happen in time.
This is a throw that Prince Fielder could have beaten while carrying C.C. Sabathia and Pablo Sandoval piggyback; good try but doomed from the start.
