I wonder how many would really want these pitches called on their batters as strikes. D and E.
By the most liberal interpretations of strike zones, the edge of the ball will nick the boundries (as with before assuming over the plate).
I'm quite sure that if I punched out the last batter on his team of the last inning of a championship game, bases loaded, 2 outs - on an coach "disappointed" with this discussion - he would be posting an altogether different thread.. and it wouldnt be praise for bibliclly following the strike zone rules.
