Call strikes from the moment you arrive at the game site. The game is better that way. I can't tell you I call two balls off the black. When they look like strikes to me, I call them strikes. I've never gotten into trouble being large. I usually get in trouble when I'm tight. I try to get them swinging early.
When I'm on, I'm consistent. When I'm off, I'm all over the place. If I call one up at the chin, look out. I don't like to ump angry but I'm better when I do.
If the entire ball is inside the inner batter's box lines on either side and the catcher sticks it, it's a strike. The inside edge of the ball can't be more than 2.5 inches off the plate. Well, maybe on an inside pitch it needs to touch the black.
