Not sure because it is actually "your strike zone stinks."

I would probably let it go... once, not over and over. I say that mainly cause I never hear them phrase it like that. It is usually "How can you call that a strike/ball?".

That's actually one of my favorites. I get to respond with "It was easy, coach. Tell you what; throw it there again, and watch me call it the same again."

I've never had a coach no player who knowingly cheated. I've had girls who have sworn, but gentle reminder to them and the coach usually suffices. I'm known around my area for looking for and calling leaving the base, so I don't get that much either. Illegal pitching is a universal problem though. I call it, but first, I will pass the pitcher and mention it, and she, hopefully, will make the adjustment. If not, then the onus is on her and the coach. I'm a firm believer in preventative officiating.
