I would rather a catcher call time out and have a private discussion rather than shake me off 3 times. Shake off once, coach says stick to the pitch, call time.
I have let catchers call pitches and only interject (call a pitch) 5 or 6 times during the game. Usually the catcher was thinking the same thing.
Most common pitch calling error I see is not throwing inside enough. Pitcher should probably bean one batter per game. That being said, never throw inside to a hitter that steps in the bucket on every pitch.
