Handling the Catcher

[tankmjg24]

I should clarify that up until him stating the pitch was good and I needed to give it to them, I do not feel as if he was questioning the zone, but asking to find out where the pitch missed. His body language and tone were not aggressive. When he openly criticised the zone to the pitcher where I could hear him (which I felt was geared mainly towards me not his pitcher) I thought ejection for a second but was uncertain if that would make me look like I had a quick hook so I opted for the warning. Sounds as if after his statement I should have shut it down then instead of giving him an answer.

This was within the second game of a double header they were playing. I have since found out that he pulled the same attitude on my partner, but he shut it down after him asking in a more aggressive tone. As he told me, he leaned down and told the catcher if he kept questioning ballls and strikes he would find out real fast how tight the zone could be.

I am not much into giving inside off the plate. Outside I will give a little as the ball is hittable.
