Why do umpires think that's a compliment? All the coach is saying is that for whatever reason you have consistently believed that pitch to be a strike. The coach is not necessarily saying that that is a good thing.
I prefer hearing the coach say, "He's right that was a strike. You gotta swing at those."

Because consistentcy is the most important thing to calling a good game. From the dugout or third base all the Coach can see is up and down. If your high and low and in and out never wavers they know what to expect.

Coaches can't tell in or out from the dugout or the box. That's false.
That's why F2 sets up outside, don't move his mitt and the coach hollers.
Thanks

David, The reason why they complain is because they can't see that the catcher set-up outside from the dugout. Just the other day on an 0-2 count my catcher set up 6 inches outside I ball it and the Coach complains from the dugout. Catcher says to me don't worry when I get in I'll tell him it was way outside. They can't tell from the box either especially when a righty is batting. They can't even see the plate how could they possibly see in or out?
