Okay, let's review.

Andy jokingly suggested redefining the strike zone to help eliminate 50% of the arguments on eteamz.

I suggested that wouldn't be a problem. If he could give a definitive point for the top of the strike zone, I would consider taking it to the NUS for a possible rule change.

To offer the same definition wouldn't exactly be "redefining" anything, let alone worthy of a change in the rule.

Hence, the redundancy of your offer.
