Besides adjusting for height, which seems quite obvious to most of us, I take every advantage of calling a strike that I can. There no mercy rule in calling balls and strikes.
You crowd the plate and have to move, too bad. Don't crowd the plate next time. I give the same amount on both sides of the plate.I enjoy being given the oppurtunity to ring a batter up, because I know, I will.
CALL STRIKES!
CALL OUTS!
Now, there are times when you have to really get your point across to a batter or pitcher that is having a hissy fit. But for the most part, if its close enough to be a ball or strike, I ALWAYS call it a strike.
And Now I have to ask, Why wouldn't you want to? Unless your getting paid by the hour.
