At the lower levels, I'll call a pitch a strike if it crosses as a strike but is caught like $#!t... but at higher levels (HS and up) if F2 butchers the pitch, I'm not gonna call it. If I do, guarenteed someone is pi$$ed in the dugout, and I will hear about it. Call the zone of least resistance... JMHO
