On a few of the other threads I have seen places where some of you feel it is wrong to make funny statements after being questioned such as the post where it is stated the Umpire said "yes you can tell it was a strike because I said strike" or things similar. Someone else said that is taunting and should only say Yes it was or something similar. I have many catchers who like to "talk" to the batters during pitches with "Thats a strike you better swing" or similar and many times after I call strike I'll say something like "Yep it was" or "Ill agree with you on that one" While other times I say "Nope I believe you had that one wrong" after a ball call. Ive never thought of it as taunting like I didn't believe the first statement was. Do you feel making any funny remarks like this as being taunting or just having fun?
