When a catcher, who is on a 19u team, says things like that, that means that he was frustrated with the zone. Unless this catcher is a rookie, you would suspect that he has caught quite a few games and knows how to successfully interact with umpires.

If a game gets to that point, where F2's are openly complaining about the zone, then the umpire needs to re-examine what he is doing for that game. Don't change it mid game, but learn from it.

Like I have said earlier, your interpretation of the strike zone has a direct bearing on the quality of the game.
