I always do one of two things: either wipe the lines out, or advise both coaches that the lines are drawn incorrectly and remind them that it's my judgment, reassuring them that I'll give batters a bit of leeway.

Wiping out the lines, in my opinion, is better from a game management standpoint. It reduces the temptation coaches have to focus solely on the bad lines, even if you DID tell them during the plate conference that the lines are wrong. However, it also may have the effect of "thumbing your nose" at the local field crew.

The choice is yours.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
