Strike zone

[SanDiegoSteve]

Well, first off....all that talk about pot roast made me hungry!

Secondly, NIump50:

I think everyone understood your point in telling the Grandma's Pot Roast story. We don't have "thick skulls."

Third:

If the top of the baseball is 2-4 inches below the knees, it's a BALL!!! If umpires were calling that pitch a strike, then they have f***** up strike zones!

Fourth:

Please spare us the analogies about learning of sex with girls from homosexuals.

Fifth:

Quit trying to convince us to call ugly pitches that hit the dirt between the plate and the catcher STRIKES!!!

I remember back in the 80's calling a pitch like that a strike in a big Varsity game with two of the top teams playing. It was a dandy breaking ball that hit the bottom of the zone and just missed landing on home plate. I was nearly laughed off the field, and took a bunch of sarcastic remarks for doing it. I never did it again.

How do you deal with all the crap you must take calling these pitches strikes?
