I've been told that "every" umpire has that one team that no matter how good you are or how well you call that they just think that you cannot call worth a lick. Miss one pitch and by golly you've been inconsistant all night. Miss a banger and you're screwing them!

I have that with one of our large schools. I had a horrible game behind the plate in my early years. I have improved a ton since then but no matter what they always seem hung up on that one game. I have also had a run in with one of the coaches that is the head coach during summer ball which added to the issue.
I think part of problem at this point now is that I get "more geared up" if I have to call them and it throws me off my normal mind set with calling. I have called much better teams and much worst with no problems so it is not the supposed high level that they play.

Any advise on how to get over this notion? Do you scratch them or let them scratch you if it is a school and that "practice" is out there? Do you just avoid them for a year or 2?
