Of course not, but when your statement is part of a 5-segment critique of my post, I assume it to be related to something I wrote. Apparently it wasn't.
You concur that there is regional variation in the way umpires call strikes. Which region's umpires have set the standard for the rest of us?

I don't think I critiqued your post. I actually took you observations a step further and basically agreed with most of what you stated.
I have no idea if any region sets a standard though I would like to think the umpires in DE are awfully close to what is expected by ASA. But, then again, that is a very prejudiced and self-serving statement on my behalf. I would think that all State/Metro UICs hold the same opinion of umpires in their area.
