I think you are taking some of these comments as a negative statement.
I did not know that others are very similar to me on this specific question.
As Waltjp noted I would only know if the pitch was not a strike if it was an obvious ball.
Honest, this is nothing to do with attitude. It has everything to do with short term memory (for me). Once a batter swings my thoughts change so quickly and so completely I really have no memory of that pitch.

I'm with Tim - it's short term memory. Occasionally, I remember, or have a clue - if so, no problem with giving batter an honest answer. I've never had a problem.
I wonder if this more frequent asking is due to more MLB batters asking - I think I've noticed more of them asking the umpire than in years past.
