that's a new one on me.

Me I wait until I am asked on the check swing.

What next are you going to call balls and strikes as BU as well.

Well, it is what they are teaching in the pro's on Check swings. And something that we have pre-gamed for two seasons now.

The reason - It prevents situations like the one described above. There are times to live and die with a call and check swings isn't one of them, unless there is something going on in that game that I don't know about. The defense asking the PU to appeal a check swing is the only ball/strike decision that they get to argue by rule, make sure you do your best to get it right.
