Both coaches indicated to me that they would not be unhappy if the strike zone were expanded so that thye would get finished and on their way more quickly.

I said yes. Big mistake.

Fourth pitch of game, off.coach starts b!tch!ing about my zone.

Next half-inning, other coach b!tches about zone.

Long story short, ended up dumping both managers and one assistant.

Never, ever again.
