Shucks, we all know all our strike zones are a little different from everyone elses. And ours will change some, from game to game. I realized the other night that I wasn't giving the outside corner. It was too late then, you can't change your strike zone in a game. The thing to strive for is CONSISTENCY, CONSISTENCY, CONSISTENCY!!!! If the coaches are saying you aren't giving a certain pitch, don't change, keep it the same way. It's not a majority vote, it's only your opinion that's gonna get into the scorebook.If you change the strike zone in the late innings, you are placing a team at a disadvantage. They have by now learned (or should have) what your zone is. They are counting on you to stay the same. If you start calling a pitch that has been a ball all night a strike, you are hurting the offensive team. Once you set a strike zone, good or bad, keep it. You're the same for both teams, they shouldn't complain.

Too much.
