Who's going to be the first brave soul to step up and say they're balling this pitch?

Why on earth would you NOT call this pitch a ball ??? I assume you are implying that the 1" means something, as you cited it twice..... I prefer to look for pitches that are strikes, or that are offered to by the batter, than to create my own. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to realize others on this board were correct. **click**
