I have to also agree with the big dogs here, I can tell if the batter made an attempt to hit a pitch from B or C. The problem I think many have is that they're relying on guidlines such as bat crossing the plate, turning the wrists, and others to make this call. It's simple, if I think he offered-->he did!
Any argument you get on this type of call should be shortlived once you tell skip that he is not to argue balls and strikes anymore.
BTW- The PBUC mechanic on this has changed. In a 3 man crew, PU is to ask for help with the umpire stationed on the line. This change was implemented either last season or the season before.
