Asking a catcher is a not so subtle way of telling the umpire you don't like what he called.
Guys I wasn't telling the umpire I didn't like what he called. That is the problem. Unless I address you, I am not talking to you, our about you. I am talking to my catcher. If the pitch is outside. Which it was, and my pitcher seems to be consistently throwing there, then I will ask my catch where the pitch was. If he says outside, then I will tell him to set up inside. I am teaching kids, how to play baseball. I could care less where the strike zone is, or what consider balls and strikes. Call em where you see them, try to be consitent, and My catcher, pitcher , and I can work on throwing strikes.
If you are secure in the way that you call a game, tah me asking my catcher in the 2nd inning should even face you. If I am tlling you to your face that "THAT PITCH WAS A STRIKE. That is a different story. If you have a problem come and talk to me, and I will explain that I wasn't questioning your call.
