What an arrogant prick.

Try educating yourself before deflecting on others. In depth studies have been done on stealing strikes. I didn't coin the phrase.

Now that may have been a little arrogant.

I sure that I am influenced by the catcher when I am calling balls & strikes. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm human and expect that more than just what I am concentrating on, the position of the ball as it passes over the plate, influences my call.

As you all know there is a website dedicated to evaluating MLB catchers and the quality of their framing.

Again, it is simply statistics and numbers don't lie.
