I despise the robo umps even more than the dh
I'm a traditionalist, a purist, but I have to disagree on this one...
Fuck the arrogant unpires, each with their individual strike zones. Fuck 'em with their different strike zones depending on the pitcher and depending on the batter, and sometimes depending on the catcher and managers.
Fuck the unpires with their strike zones in general - from the belt to the ankles, and the middle of the plate to 6'' outside.
What a shock it would be to everyone if a system were implemented where only balls actually over the plate and from the letters to the knees were called strikes. What an adjustment that would be for everyone - pitchers, batters, managers, fans, broadcasters. Imagine an actual set strike zone everyone could reasonably depend on. I wonder what that game would look like
