The other team is a different story. I rang one guy up on a curve ball on the inside corner that was a strike. He doesn't really do anything. The next batter comes up and the pitcher throws the same pitch, which I call a strike as well. He turns and says "That was not a strike...and it wasn't on the last guy either". The thought of dumping him didn't really cross my mind until later, so I just told him to shut his mouth and get back in the box. He didn't say anything else.
Should I have ran him for that comment? During any high school game, spring or summer, I'm thinking I probably would have. I talked to some other guys and they suggested to look at my indicator and say "Actually, according to this it was a strike!".

Take your pick:
"I'll bet the scorebook has it as a strike."
"Take two more just like it and see what happens next."
"It's a strike all day, you two just can't hit it."
"Shut up and swing the bat."
