When you were taught this undeniable truth that if a pitch clearly passes thru the strike zone but breaks to the dirt it must be called a ball
Did you ask why?
And was the answer "because"
Where is the fairness in calling a ball clearly seen in the strike zone a ball?

Why do you reward the batter when the pitcher makes a great pitch?
You just call strikes where you see them. You don't have to listen to any of the experienced umpires that roam this board. What do any of us know right?

The fact that some umpires on the board call upper level ball doesn't mean a thing....what do we know. Don't listen to us, we are obviously doing things wrong and are cowards plus we lack integrity.

If you want to call pitches in the dirt strikes you go right ahead. In fact why don't you call some pitches up around the arm pits strikes too.

What level ball do you work and where do you work? I'd love to come see you work.....maybe I'd learn what it's like to have integrity and courage.
