I'd say that's your side telling me how to call balls and strikes, not vice versa.
The rest of the thread I've been defending my opinion.
So again I say to you. Get your facts right and Stop making assumptions.
After reading your posts, I have come to the conclusion that you're probably an assistant coach.
Just a clueless mouthpiece thrown out at the end of an argument as a sacrificial lamb to protect me the coach.
Have a nice walk to the parking lot!

I was answering your question as to why this is not considered a strike. Whatever opinion you have is fine. Just like the rest of the coaches, its not worth much.
Call the pitch whatever you want, it makes no difference to me. If you were like most coaches..........dang I mean umpires, we share with one another what it takes and what we have expierenced in order to move to the next level.
Also, I can verify my statements as to what I work. Go ahead and post your coaching certificate.
