Strike Zone elementary question

Not sure I understand your question. I would not understand why you would call a pitch at someones chin. I think what you are saying is that if the person is 2 feet forward in the box, that the pitch is actually a strike over the plate.

If it were possible, which in some situations it is, I wouldn't complain.

The only umpires that drove me crazy this year were the ones that believed anything more than 6 inches below the belt and six inches above was a strike, and if the cather moved her glove at all it must have been outside or inside.

I WILL MAKE A POINT OF SAYING RIGHT NOW THOUGH. WE HAD SOME GOOD UMPIRES FOR A CHANGE THIS YEAR. We only had one really young one, and they were all friendly to the kids.

Only problem we had was with one who forgot his chest protector and refused to get behind the plate. The field manager made him (not at our request), but he took it out on us. All the rest (over 10 games) were awesome.

I can't tell you the impact that had on parents, kids and coaches. A good blue makes everybody happy.
