Varsity game. Home team far better than visiting team. Home team had pitcher who was throwing gas and obviously visitors were over matched. Score got to be home team 12 visiting team 0 after 4th or 5th inning. Yes... don't ask me why but NY State does not have a 10 run rule. Home coach has his players stepping out of batters box before every pitch to look for signs, visiting team puts in a pitcher that couldn't reach home plate. Slower than batting practice pitches and was having a really hard time throwing strikes. Home team is taking pitches until they had 2 strikes. Home team is continuing to steal and run like it is a one run game. I am getting really ticked off at all this. I never, and I mean never open up my strike zone. I finish a game with the same strike zone that I start a game with. Well I start calling the strike zone like its a little league game. Bottom of 6th I hear a player in the dugout tell the leadoff guy "swing at anything, this guy is calling everything a strike." Well I tell the batter that they are making me call everything a strike because they refuse to swing the bat. Batter tells me it is because of their jerk coach. Coach never said a word to me. Please tell me your opinion on my ever expanding strike zone and the way I handled the situation. Final score was 20-0 Home pitcher gave up one hit... infield single in the top of the 7th.
