In the second scenario, he wasn't asked. That was my point. The moron down the row thought the PU was asking for a checked swing appeal with his left hand, when in reality he was pointing at the swing for a swinging strike call. I know that he can rule if asked, but he wasn't.

I would come to you every time I was asked. I can make that call from A just as easily as everywhere else. As others have said, the only criteria is: Do I think he offered? If I do, it's a strike. If not, it's a ball. No big deal. I've called strikes on LH batters from A in college games without any real fuss.
