			I never implied one should call pitches based on where the catcher was.  Not at all.  The catcher is irrelevant to my call. 
 
What I said was that in the vast majority of the cases, an umpire in A or C, or a coach near any dugout, can easily see the difference between an inside pitch or an outside pitch based on the movements of the catcher.  They are not stupid - they KNOW why it was a ball (with the exception of a pitch near a corner that I mentioned earlier).  They are asking so they can be rats - that's all they're doing.
