I use the river, ocean theory.  Stays out of lines of BB, then it is in 
the river and a strike, goes inside box, "ocean" ball.  Lay a softball on 
the side of the plate in the blank area between HP and BB lines.  Looks 
like a strike to me.

 If any part of the ball is over the Batter's box line closest to home plate, is that a ball?  To state it another way, does the entire ball have to be between the Batter's box line and the plate to be a strike?
Do you give the same strike zone on the outside corner as well?
