Give the coach the bat and ask him to point out where on the bat he can find the batter's hand.
You give the coach too much credit if you think he comes out just to make you look bad, and who cares about the fans anyway.
If the 3-0 pitch is marginal, ball it. Get on to the next batter. If the 3-1 pitch is again marginal, now you are expected to call that pitch again as a strike. Now you're on the spot for the 3-2 pitch. Make you life easier.
