I coach also and I agree with the umpires on the page here. By the second inning the pitcher should know if they are going to get the outside corner or not. If they aren't getting it, you have to adjust. The umpire isn't going to change his zone once he/she has established it. If my pitcher was in that situation I would tell her that if she isn't getting the corner then bring it in a little bit, show some consistency and then start sliding it out a little further, once the ump gets used to calling strikes out there, you might be able to get some more a little wider.

Complaining about the zone won't accomplish anything except maybe make it a little smaller. Just accept what is there and adjust.
