I'm not concerned about borderline misses

It's difficult to get calls right all the time when the ball moves. Also most umpires anticipate the location of the pitch by the catcher's glove, making calls more difficult when the pitch is off-target (and perhaps still a strike). The swing or check swing is also a difficult call at times

The blatant misses are certainly a concern.
