We are not talking about the pitch that is out of the zone. We are talking about the catcher standing up on pitches that are IN the zone!
And I don't tell them to "get down", I tell them to "stay down" if they want me to see a strike.
And in the end, I could care less how often the block me out. I WILL call it a ball, and if they aren't complaining, I don't need to say a thing. It is when they DO complain that you can handle it the way I described above.
