    Blue calls a questionable pitch a strike. Batter says to the catcher: "what did you think of that call?" Catcher replies: "it was a foot outside; I don't think he has got one call right since the second inning!"
    You are Blue. What (if anything) do you do?

    Pitcher better throw everything down the middle or else it is a ball, unless that particular batter comes up and then every pitch will a strike,even if it is head to toe...I would hope that never happens in a game with the batter and catcher..Now I will say that if the catcher is removed from behind the plate, I would go back to my normal game but I would never let a player or players have that kind of attitude..

    So..your entire focus is retaliation at the kids????

    Seems like you might want to think about your strike zone and maybe these kids are on to something. Once again, here is an umpire who thinks it is all about him.
    Come on, we have enough of that already.

    What would I do in this situation? I would probably say a word or two to both of them immediately, not noticed by the fans.
    Your solution impacts the rest of the game unfairly and unnecessarily. Why do that? ..:apeani::apeani:

    baseballlady, my comment was more of joke. I have never umpired, however if I did umpire, I would not hold it against the whole team for each having an idiot on their team. I would have a large strike zone when that particular batter and catcher came to the plate. I would hope the coach of each team would handle their players attitude. Now as far as the umpire quitely telling the boys that they did a BOO BOO, good luck with that:flush:
