It has nothing to do with having the balls to call it. It has to do with having a zone you're comfortable with and consistent in calling. I get very little complaining about balls and strikes and don't see the need to give the pitcher everything and the batter nothing. The pitch on the fists is not a hittable pitch in my opinion. It's not reasonable to expect a hitter to go outside the zone and hit a pitch there and also have to go inside to hit pitches out of the zone there as well. I'm not going to say you're wrong if you call both edges outside of the plate, but you have to do what you are comfortable with. If you don't, you'll lose consistency in my opinion.
