Not being deragatory here but, I realize sometimes were not dealing with rocket scientists as catchers and as an ex-catcher myself I understood that there were only two reasons a pitch was called a ball.

1. It was outside of the umpires zone.
2. The umpire missed it.

A good catcher, after about 3 or four batters is always very capable of figuring this out. So I really have never bought into that adjustment stuff but, thats just me. In fact, many good catchers will set the scenario up early to get a feel for your zone. No questions necessary.

Having said that I always reply if asked and again if this works for others, go for it.
