Although I try to call as many strikes as possible, I do have a problem with an umpire that calls a pitch 6" off the plate a "strike" no matter how consistently they call it. The defensive team loves a wide strike zone but they're not as enthusiastic when batting under those same conditions. The defensive team also loves an umpire that looks the other way on illegal pitches but gripes about the opponent's pitcher. I love the coaches and fans that remark "let the girls play" until the other team does something against the rules or gets a beneficial call. "Consistently bad" is still bad no matter how you try to justify it.
