Personally, I would have had pretty think skin in this situation. Her original comment was based on a strike that you admit calling without actually seeing it. Maybe she had a legitimate argument.

If a ball comes in is blocked out by the catcher, I always give the benefit of the doubt to the batter. The catcher may moan and groan, but if you inform them that it would have been a strike if they hadn't popped up, they usually stay put.

If you have frequent "block outs" by the catcher, then a stance change may be in order.
