Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 4649595, member: 474"] honestly when coaching, I am less concerned about the strike zone if they are least pretty consistent with it. You have a pitcher too than can take advantage of it. I was more concerned with blown calls in the field.. A guy being out by 2 steps at first or an Ump forgetting to watch a guy touch home or forgetting infield fly rules. Now at lower levels with 1-2 umps all sorts of things get missed and you try to be civil and get them to think about the mistakes and correct the ones that are rules based.. I do recall having a kid called out on strikes on a ball that bounced 5 ft in front of home plate and the ump claiming it was a strike and denying it bounced.. I wasnt really sure how to complain on that one since you cant really push too much on balls and strikes but that one was hard to take. [/QUOTE]
