I have a hard time calling a strike (especially strike three) on a pitch that hits me in the shin guards and the catcher has to run to the backstop to get. That pitch should be called to reflect what it looks like.

No quarrel there, but is there a distinction between making the "expected call" on a ball/strike,
versus making the "expected call" on safe/out? It seems one may be permissible, while the other is a question of integrity.
I'm not attempting to be a wise-guy, although I may be doing a good job of it! I'm just learning my way, as the name and post count indicate.
Thanks, all, for a tremendous web site.

Grateful prayers for the repose of all those heroes who gave this nation the last full measure of devotion.
