Want to comment on something like that, then take that umpire's games and call your own zone. And, about something which is unique to that umpire only, his strike zone. And, if the umpire says it is a ball, then it is a ball no matter where it is. That was all my comment was.

Don't comment on something which cannot be commented on. That begins to sound like what the Rats do.
I agree and I really didn't mean to comment directly on your post, it was just the most convenient jumping in point.

Plenty of times I've stood out there and watched a partner work and thought he "might" have missed a pitch or ten. Doesn't really concern me, though, as I'm not back there and can't really offer feedback on judgment. Now, if he asks and there's some mechanical / timing issues to work on, well, I may be able to offer that...
