You're disregarding a pitch in the strike zone for no other reason than the coach won't like it.

Seems to me the coaches opinion carries a lot of weight with you. Enough that you are willing to change the strike zone for him.

Tough talk on the board.
But when you get onthe field, what other calls do you make to please the coach?


Am I the only one who thinks this discussion is now bordering on the ridiculous? We have a noob telling other officials working levels from HS varsity through Div 1 NCAA basball, up to the minors, that they're cowards because they don't call this crap a strike.
