Wow.... I cannot think of a WORSE thing to discuss at a plate meeting. That was just plain, bad, wrong, and stupid.
You were right to resist.

Part of my soon to be famous document "50 ways to hack off your partner" is the plate meeting strike zone discussion. I once say a guy take a ball out of this ballbag and then give a demonstration of calling the corners. I about hurled.

Besides, in 99% of cases, the announced zone and the zone as called in reality, are rarely the same thing.. So the guy could have saved his breath.
