TLD asked:


Has anyone suggested that argured calls could be settled this way? It appears the umps have it wrong a very high percentage of the time.

   i think the strike zone thing is really wrong or else the umpires **** at calling balls or strikes…..or maybe they do anyways

   I think the umps are more accurate than that graphic - I wish they would stop using it. It’s kind of stupid when the umps and announcers call it a strike and the graphic doesn’t

   Those strike zones TBS, and FOX have are awful. They are not even close to accurate.

   The ball never ends up in that box lol

   They are accurate but when it shows the ball crossing the plate just outside the strike zone there is only about an inch involved, way too close for a batter to be taking the pitch.

   They are accurate but misleading…it makes it seem like the ball is a foot or more out of the box when in reality it’s like a couple inches.

   It obviously doesn’t matter what these boxes show because in the end, the umpire makes the decision. Umpires have been deciding games since the beginning of baseball why should we have a computer be the deciding factor now? Let’s just keep it the way it always has been and keep the human element to judging the calls in a baseball game.

   the graphic just show what the strike zone should be, but the strike zone varies from umpire to umpire
