Two of those pitches were not "borderline," and their being called a strike is a disgrace to umpiring and as illuminated above, should be an embarrassment to any umpire caught on tape calling it.

I know from personal experience and coaching experience that one thing for sure, except by accident, I never made contact with a pitch with the bat on my shoulder. Anyone of those pitches could have been taken to the opposite field. Something a good hitter would know. Something a hitter at that level would know. GO WITH THE PITCH and you control your at bat. Don't let the umpire make the decision for you because if I am doing the dish, I will.
