The job of a pitcher and catcher is to figure out the UMPs strike zone and spot the ball in that strike zone. Not all UMPs are the same and may differ slightly on a given day. Why waste the energy arguing and calling the UMP out.
I have seen UMPs chased to their cars by irrate parents/coaches after a game.
A parent/coach should teach a pitcher to accept the call and get on with it. Part of the mental game.
I have seen umps take away the pitchers best pitch because of his strike zone but you have to deal with it. The UMP ain't going away.
Nice to hear an UMP mention 3 dimensional zone.
