I was the PU. Told the coach (whose catcher easily threw out the runner and who was fishing for the strike as well) that the batter didn't offer at the pitch. He asked for, and got, a request to ask for help. "No swing" was the answer. He still wanted to discuss it, and was told one more time "He didn't offer at the pitch". After that it was "No more discussion on balls and strikes"....but it did look odd, which was why it was questioned in the first place. First time I've ever seen it in 30 years of work....
