Flinch

If you don't see the strike, you don't call the strike. If it was that close to being a swing, the catcher is going to ask you to check with your partner. One man mechanics, you just have to take the heat for missing the pitch.

In your situation where you called the pitch a strike on the swing you should have immediately pointed with your left hand while saying "went" and giving the strike mechanic. Sell the call.
