To which I responded "Coach my job here isn't to make you or anybody else HAPPY, as my job is to call balls and strikes as I see them. Now you have a choice as to whether you'd like to not be happy from either the dugout OR the bus!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't hear another word out of him:-))) I was calling them by the book and was very comfortable with my strike zone!!!!
Coach I'll put your happiness on my list of concerns, you're in at number 13 on the list.

J/K, firmly let the coach know that you will not discuss balls and strikes with him.
