My $0.02: if the batter is crowding the plate that much that s/he's blocking your view of the pitcher, then it's not your fault if you miss an illegal pitch on the delivery. You can't call what you can't see, and if the OC asks you why you missed it, tell them, "coach, your batter was blocking my view."
And when the pitch comes in, call it as best you can. Maybe that pitcher didn't miss the corner as much as the batter thinks it did.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
