Catchers and the strike zone (FP)

[wadeintothem]

I watch it all the way to the catcher.. there are some actions of a catcher that can cause me to lean towards/call a ball..

first off, its kinda embarrassing to call a marginal strike and see the ball go rolling away from the catcher, so I dont like to do it - and I've been known to answer "what was wrong with that one blue" with "it wasnt even catchable" when going ahead and calling a ball when I probably would have called a strike if caught.. or if I do call the strike - telling the catcher, "you know you make me look bad if you dont catch that one". "sorry blue!"

Moving the ball into the strike zone, well.. that means the catcher thought it was a ball and me too then.

those are a few of my thoughts.
