If I'm in Jim's position. All those times he was getting hit, I would have just jumped with the catcher. This way, ball goes to the screen everytime. And automatic ball.
Most pitchers will realize why these are balls, and most coaches as well. If they come out between innings to mention anything tell them "Catcher is taking away strikes".
If he don't take him out, well, its gonna be a long day, but one where my forearms, hands, etc., and integrity, are in tact.
