it's got nothing to do with the quality of the catcher everything to do with the quality of the pitch.
If a pitch is in the strike zone and breaks to the ankles catcher picks it clean, it seems to me that only fear of the offensive coach prevents the strike call.

So the simple fact is, you're saying out of fear you would not call a strike on a ball you admit hit the strike zone?
You don't know Tee very well if you think he's afraid of anything.

Perception is everything. If everyone in the park but you thinks a pitch is low, maybe you ought to change your perception.
