Chirping about pitches

[Steve M]

I worked an 18&U B tournament a couple of weeks ago. The tournament reinforced my dislike of bad ball. I had a coach ask on 3 balls in a row where the pitches were - and they were very obvious balls, not ones that were close to borderline. I answered him twice. The third answer was "not in the strike zone, coach." In between innings, this went a little further until I explained that I was not going to help him coach his team and that he needed to be speaking with his catcher in between innings. That ended it and there were no problems with him the rest of the weekend.
