Which pitches are strikes?
A lot of people say they like to call strikes, but would you call the third pitch in this video a strike? Do you reward the catcher's framing on the last one?

When you are setup further out than "cup on the corner" (ie. line up with your cup on the outside corner), I don't even know why you'd bother framing. Well, I guess I do know why, but I don't know why anyone would buy into it. |
One of those could have been a strike.

Ah, quit your whinning, you looked at three hittable pitches, didn't take the bat off your shoulders once and call yourself a hitter. Sit your butt down.
Actually it was a little outside but, sometimes s**t happens baby. |

Two of those pitches were not "borderline," and their being called a strike is a disgrace to umpiring and as illuminated above, should be an embarrassment to any umpire caught on tape calling it. |
