I am also a camper in the "It's a strike until it's a ball" group.

Well, whatever works for you. Vive la différence.

Sorry my games plus adult beverages kept me so long from clarifying my point. In regards to the ball --> strike I was referring to the fact that when nothing is said and no signal given that the pitch is considered a ball. And also that on check swing (if not called) is considered a ball until an ump rules it strike.

To further clarify, I am in the no preconceived notions (at least I try), but I do tend to meander to the strike unless shown otherwise.

That is some major league feet shuffling. You and MajorDave should meander over to the dance floor.. and do the strike shuffle.

I was talking on the phone while typing and did not proofread. My son was giving me a game update from the Louisville v Vandy regional game and I did a dangerous thing-typing while talking. (grin.)

I am in the strike until it is a ball camp. I promise.
