alot of times my stance changes from the way alot of these catchers move.
For one, when a catcher has an 0-2 count and does the 3 feet outside the plate move....i know i aint sitting in the slot no matter what anyone says...have had 2 many pichers throw a fastball inside cause they can't control where they throw...sometimes catchers almost stand when the catch...some are short and are so low you have to move a diffrent way.
there are many fine umps that stay the same place everytime...good for them...i feel to line up over the inside edge of the catchers head to see the slot makes it more comfortable for me...yea, i do like hidind most of my body behind the catcher...i like my bones and need to be at work the next day...noone has ever really complained about my stike zone... so i move with the catcher...is this wrong ?

If no one is complaining about your strike zone and you are feeling secure about your safety, I really don't see your problem. Do not let those "top dogs" change what is obviously successful for you !
BTW, are they no longer teaching basic writing and grammar skills in our schools ?
