Judging by your previous post, I can tell you don't umpire at a high level. First of all, if a manager asks you where a pitch was - you answer the question with a location, NOT a smart a$$ remark.

Sorry, Sal:
In my part of the world, as well, "top" umpires are just as likely to use Windy's "S-A-" response [or a variation: "Not in the Zone"]. If the CATCHER asks "was that outside, Blue?", he might get a location response; but we don't owe the Coach an explanation.
"Where was that?" is a form of chirping: arguing judgment calls.
