I had one rule for my players. "It is not his job to adjust to your interpretation of the strike zone. It is your job to adjust to his interpretation of the strike zone. So watch and learn, quickly."

I had one request of the crew - "Please be consistent for the entire game regardless of the situation."

My idea of a bad call is anything that falls outside of the "consistent" area. Once the zone has been established lets keep it right there. I understand you are going to make some calls during the game that might be inconsistent. As long as you are not consistently inconsistent I will stay quiet and leave you alone. You have a tough job. A very tough job. I appreciate you and respect you, and my players will appreciate you and respect you as well.
