Off the top of my head without researching anything, since "dish" can mean something like throw, this apparently means that the count is 1 and 2 as the pitcher gets ready to deliver the pitch.

"At the dish" means at home plate. "1-2" means that the count is one ball, two strikes.
(I can't think of a context where "dish" means "throw" -- what did you have in mind, Anon?)

I was thinking about phrases like, "dish the dirt on," and "he can dish it out but can't take it."

I am Japanese and have also been wondering about the meaning of the phrase.
(Maybe, just like me, you have been wondering since you read a tweet by Jason???)
And I think I have just found out exactly what it means.
As "dish" here means the home plate, "at the dish" means "at bat".
So, "1-2 at the dish" means "one hit for two occasions at bat".

It's been a few decades since I've watched much baseball, but I've never heard "1 - 2" used with that meaning.
"One for two" is one hit for two attempts at bat.
"One and two" is one ball and two strikes. (I suppose it may now be idiomatic to omit the "and.")
Depending on the announcer's style, "1 - 2" could mean that the pitcher dispensed with two batters

Later I saw him (yes, it's from Jason Standridge's tweet) use '4-5 at the dish', which seems to mean 'four for five'. So '1-2 at the dish' doesn't necessarily mean 'one ball, two strikes', does it?

Hey, this is aqua703 again.
Yes, the newer tweet from Jason is how I noticed it means "one for two".
In the tweet on 25th, with "1-2 at the dish" phrase, he was not talking about his pitching but his batting.
And that makes sense to me.
Don't you agree with me?

On seeing his '1-2 at the dish' for the first time, I thought he was talking about his pitching because, you know, he is a pitcher and I didn't imagine that he cared about his batting, trying to do it better next time. Plus, if my memory serves me right, when Takahashi drove in two runs, the count was actually one-two. So when I received khoff's message, I thought she

To show you how out-of-touch I am, I had never heard "dish" used in a baseball context, except in the sense of the very general idiom "to dish something up," or "to dish the dirt," (to gossip) as in Neal Hefti's Girl Talk: "They dish the dirt, it never ends." (lyrics - Bobby Troup)
My hat's off to Khoff and CJ.
