When i first started I know I confused them by just calling balls,strikes and DDB illegal pitch.

But my favorite is when the pitcher, usually with 2 strikes, pitches one into the ozone layer, I call illegal and then asks "TOO high blue ? "

I've thought about replying something smart-a$$ey but they might not get it....
