I can see it now...
PU: Strike!
DC: Blue, that runner left early. You've gotta watch for that will ya?
PU: Sure thing, coach.
next pitch
PU: Ball!
DC: Blue, that was belt high down the middle of the plate! How can that be a ball?!
PU: I didn't see the pitch, coach. As you requested, I was watching to see if the runner left early. She didn't.
Do that once, and I guarantee the DC will either shutup, or read you the riot act. Either way, he's all yours.
